Memex 1.1

Seen in a student cafe this afternoon.

Taken at a very special celebration on Tuesday.

A shot snatched from the car just before the lights changed. The photographer was asking the chap to throw leaves in the air so that she could get a zany action shot. This was his second attempt.

You can tell it’s the start of the busiest term in the academic year.

The town is plastered with notices of concerts, drama productions, debates, readings, recitals, meetings. There’s nothing quite like a big university.

Taken while walking back to my car this afternoon.

In our garden, this morning. Anecdotal research suggests that eight out of ten people spell the name of the plant wrongly. (Confession: I did for years!)

The new Nikon D3/D700 sensor is amazing. This is a handheld shot at 6400 asa.

Quentin’s been to Auschwitz and brought back some striking pictures.

Mike Meade, one of the nicest and most valued of my academic colleagues, retired today. This is him in characteristic mode when replying to the toast.

Tom Catchesides has a great picture of Bill Thompson in full flow at the Cambridge Film Festival.
