When the Tax Man unexpectedly presents you with a cheque that is almost half of your annual salary after a <a href="http://www.rikaitch.plus.com/coleman66uk/life/bustergonad.gif" target="_blank">Buster Gonad</a> size oversight at some shitty sorting office up in Newcastle, then what is a boy with a camera fixation to do? <br> </br> ...buy a bike shed as well to house all the other cycles I have planned for the fleet. <br> </br> Despite the <a href="http://www.onionbagblog.com/pictemps/chalton.html" target="_blank">shoddiness of Sony's DSC range</a>, I've only gone and bought... a <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscv3/" target="_blank">DSC V3</a>. 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. <br> </br> Three years ago and I <a href="http://www.crapmatchreports.blogspot.com/pictemps/larkhall.html" target="_blank">road tested</a> the seven inch super zoom at <a href="http://www.mondaysmusings.blogspot.com/pics/071105/larkwalk.html" target="_blank">Larkhall Park</a>. It was only fair then to return to my favourite South London location for a very early Sunday morning shoot. <br> </br> Much like my preference for pictures, Larkhall Park is changing. <a href="http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/News/PressReleases/PressReleaseArchive/2005/061205LarkHallPark.htm" target="_blank">Extra investment</a> leads to a bland multi-kit park with no individual identity left in this little corner of <strong>SW8</strong>. <br> </br> It's rather like those <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverside_Stadium" target="_blank">mechano</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_Park_Stadium" target="_blank">football</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meadow_Lane" target="_blank">stadiums</a> 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. <br> </br> This <strong>ISN'T</strong> <a href="http://www.onionbagblog.com/pictemps/ss.html" target="_blank">Sunny Stockwell</a>; this <strong>IS</strong> 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. <br> </br> 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. <br> </br> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/1_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/3_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/4_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/5_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/6_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/7_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/8_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/9_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/10_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/12_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/13_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/14_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/16_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/17_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/18_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <P Align="Center"><Img SRC="http://www.onionbagblog.com/250207/19_f.JPG" alt="Larkhall Park, 25/02/07" border=1></P> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/larkhall park" target="_blank"rel="tag">technorati: larkhall park</a> <br> </br> <a href="javascript:HaloScan('larkbw');"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('larkbw');</script></a></font></small></font></small> <br> </br> </div> <div id="rightcontent"> <br> </br> <h4>sport-london-subvert</h4> <p> <div id<!-- Sidebar --> <div id="sideBar"> <!--+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Add things to your sidebar here.
