Cheers St. Rebus - great post!
I have recently started taking more pictures with my new camera phone, mostly because I have seen this work so well for you when we have been out.
And I totally agree that the more interesting stuff that you do in your spare time, the more naturally interesting and cool a person you will become. I go climbing; I play the Ukelele; I make films; I race go-karts; amongst many other things. I just need a bit of evidence (ie. The tools)
On Saturday night, however, I should have the mother of all conversation pieces: I'll have a video of me doing a bungee jump earlier that day
Much love,
Craigus
