On the move again…. [Blogging, personal] — DrJoolz @ 7:25 pm

sticky pink

I am in the middle of moving here.
maybe a move will get me back into blogging properly again…

I think for a while it has been hard to blog.

Partly work overload (i.e. a change of priorities I suppose) and partly not feeling able to write in that semi-academic semi personal way that I have customarily used for the blog.
Personal stuff has been, well, too personal, and I have not felt able to give it a lighthearted jaunty feel!!

But summer’s coming and I am moving round the block, solet’s hope that helps ;) )

Blending Identities [Flickr, Photographs, community, culture] — DrJoolz @ 10:16 am

Went to Peace in the Park on Saturday. Some interesting stuff to photograph and saw a wonderful band Just Potatoes. The lead singer had the most beautiful rich Blues voice but could also belt out the Waits’ Chocolate Jesus, giving a momentous performance.

Just Potatoes
(This is the singer from Just Potatoes.)

I found out about the event in several ways - all of which were to do with my ‘life online’ Firstly I took a photo last week of a a performer advertising the event - but only found out about the event after I took the shot for my Flickr stream (not yet uploaded); secondly I heard about the event on a discussion thread on Flickr; thirdly I heard about it via a contact on Facebook.

While I was there, I was intent on getting good shots to put on Flickr … but most uncanny was when Ian Jones came up to me and said ‘Hi you’r DrJoolz aren’t you? I recognise you from Flickr … Life Online, huh? Blending Identities.

(Thanks to TT for the images.)
