Alex Harries's diary

I know putting this pic on here is verging on the cheeky, but this (Italian?) photographer has some amazing photographs in his Flickr photostream - check it out.

While I'm waiting for a cafétière (did I accent that right?) of photos from tonight's VIP Awards Dinner Thingybob to brew, I just wanted to mention that this is absolutely superb... Boredom's great ;o)

Update: as I'm editing down the photos from tonight, I'm faced with the eternal question of "do I include the photograph for completeness or delete it because it's absolutely terrible/they're gurning/they're looking the other way/all of the above?". This is a bit of a pain in the neck as far as the photos of the ... ohmyGod it's getting light... Where was I? ... It's a bit of a pain where photos of the awards ceremony are concerned because, naturally, people would like to see a pic of them receiving the award wherever possible but, that said, I'm not entirely sure having a pixellated multi-coloured blur is really likely to invoke those feelings of pride and achievement which a good photo might have done. I think I'll just have to admit defeat on some of these pics... Shame :o( (Advance apology: some of the photos I took tonight were, frankly, appalling - if you're reading this and fuming having seen your face as a blurry/dark/gurning mess thanks to my guerilla photography, I can only apologise... Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible... Oops!).

(p.s. lost my going-into-the-sea-after-Tange virginity tonight... Very scary, but not very cold... Beer jackets are handy things...)
