That reporter was true to his word and published one of my photos of the Dulwich Hamlet game in the local paper. He used my least favourite picture from the set, but I guess it was of the winning goal. Either way, I am now officially a published sports photographer ;-D

Trying out sports photography
I decided to take my new lens down to Dulwich Hamlet this afternoon (“c’mon you ‘amlet!”). Things I learned:
- Sports photography is hard
- Shots of goal kicks are not exciting
- Having a long lens makes people think you’re a pro. I got given a business card by a reporter from the local paper asking me to send any good ones for publication(!)

Line of sight
One of my favourite pleasures is to walk the dog through Nunhead Cemetery. Early weekend mornings are lovely and quiet, and it feels reflective and peaceful.
The paths on the walk curve and climb, and at the very peak there’s a bench with a direct line of sight through the trees to St Paul’s some four miles away.
It’s hard to show this on a cameraphone picture as the exposures necessary are usually too diverse. However, it’s a perfect job for the new HDR feature on the iPhone 4. I think you can just see the church through the clearing.

wedding songs
When we got married last year, the choice of music at the ceremony was of course important to us. We were allowed three songs, and this is what we chose:
1. Played as people were walking in
John Lennon urges everyone to step this way and it’s the start to an incredible opening. It got the choice because we knew that marriage was indeed going to be magical and mysterious. The alternative was Talking Heads’ Road to Nowhere. I thought people might not get that as it appears to be negative, but I find it liberating and quite spritual.
2. Played as we signed the wedding register
This felt like our song during the first few months of going out. Not only is it an astonishing tune, it’s also uplifting and expressed what we were feeling
And I feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody’s got something good to sayThings I once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
3. As people leave after the ceremony
Sally was brought up in Wales, so this bilingual song felt appropriate. However, Gorky’s are one of my very favourite bands, and as it breaks into Welsh, the lyrics are again beautiful and touching
Mae’n bwrw glaw
So dal fy llaw
Ond mae’r gaeaf mor hir
Mae’n cymryd gormod or tirIt’s raining
So hold my hand
But the winter’s so long
It takes too much of the land

I always thought this scene in Pulp Fiction was a nod to Psycho, so I made this video.
