My photo for day three is a bit crap to be honest, but I was absolutely shattered yesterday. This is the only decoration in my shared close. It’s a vintage Singer sewing machine, cruelly obscured by some extremely boring plants and some gnomes. Why gnomes? What is the point of these horrible inventions? Answers on a postcard.

I’ll try and get a better one for Friday.

I took lots of photos today but this one stood out. Not because it’s a good picture, but more because it’s sad. I’ve never thought of myself as a sentimental person, but there’s something quite sad about a pile of Christmas trees still rotting publicly in May.

This isn’t an official collection point, just a bit of public land near the River Kelvin that folk assume is dealt with by the council so they stick their tree there in January and forget about it. The smell is bizarre – it smells like Christmas gone off. Such a sad ending for something that brought so much joy.

Inspired by some of the lovely folks I follow over on Twitter I’ve decided to do an ‘iPhone photo a day’ project to kickstart this blog.

The iPhone camera is terrible, but that makes it all the more satisfying when you finally manage to get something decent from it. I won’t deny that I’ll more than likely use a little Lightroom trickery to improve any photos I get – I can’t stop myself playing with presets, more often than not to the detriment of the original image. More contrast? Aye, go on then…

Anyway, day one: say hello to my feet, some pretty floor lights and a random feather that floated down from Bath Street.

Good times in Bunker.
