iphone, originally uploaded by Richard Adams.
The iPhone camera is not good…it’s appalling….another example of tech forced on us by American corporations. The rest of the world can handle 8 and 12 megapixel cameras on phones but because AT&T is a backward network we have to have this 2 MP crap toy camera!
That said…using various apps [...]

West Wittering, May Day Bank Holiday, originally uploaded by Richard Adams.
I love the English summer. I also love the traditional seaside towns and I absolutely adore the idea of beach huts. These little pieces of Anglicana have long represented something peculiarly English. They aren’t of course ancient they really began to exist and become popular [...]
