Bored with buying excess bikes, I've gone and bought another bloody camera. No space issue there, mrs onionbagblogger, although the wonderful wide angle lens that I simply couldn't resist takes up slightly more desk space than the seven inch super zoom.
This isn't Sunny Stockwell
And so why the big spend? When the Tax Man unexpectedly presents you with a cheque that is almost half of your annual salary after a Buster Gonad size oversight at some shitty sorting office up in Newcastle, then what is a boy with a camera fixation to do?
...buy a bike shed as well to house all the other cycles I have planned for the fleet.
Despite the shoddiness of Sony's DSC range, I've only gone and bought... a DSC V3. I like my cameras to be robust and the V3 has more volume than the inside of my underpants. It weighs considerably more as well.
Three years ago and I road tested the seven inch super zoom at Larkhall Park. It was only fair then to return to my favourite South London location for a very early Sunday morning shoot.
Much like my preference for pictures, Larkhall Park is changing. Extra investment leads to a bland multi-kit park with no individual identity left in this little corner of SW8.
It's rather like those mechanofootballstadiums that were all the fashion in the mid '90s. Lots of shiny features, all shipped in from the same factory; all out of style before the first signs of rust is even allowed to set in.
This ISN'TSunny Stockwell; this IS life in a once lovely but now neglected South London park, as seen through a grainy ISO 800 setting with the rain seeping into my wide angle wotsit.
As a Taxpayer, I'm paying for the privilege as well. But talk to me about the Taxman right now and chances are I will give you a great big sloppy kiss, wetter than the early Sunday morning soaking I inflicted on the V3.
