The swiss summer has most definately kicked off.. we headed to Murten last week and took a wee ferry all around the lake. I’m thoroughly impressed with my new camera (Canon 450d), although I don’t think i’ve owned anything with so many settings before! At least with film you’re pretty much stuck with the same [...]
Just a regular night after church in the pub.. about two years ago?

Today I bought my first digital SLR after a few years of thinking it would be a good idea.. but never having a regular enough job to ever think about getting one!

I’m on a bit of a youtube blogging roll today..
I first caught wind of this guy through a foot note or two from “How (not) to speak of God” by Pete Rollins and a couple of posts by Shane at FakeRepublic.. however trying to find his books in Bern is a little bit hard.. [...]

I’d love to make some of these… new glasgow flat.. here we come!
(well.. in october..)
I picked up this litle quote from bono the other day - its from this fairly recent book and had a photo i’d taken edinburgh that I thought fitted quite appropriately.
