I am back in Edinburgh for the weekend & I have had a walk around the old town & Greyfriars Kirk yard taking photos. Some that I hope will be good or interesting enough for sale on my revamped Rickis.net site or a stock photo service, others I will up loead to Flickr.
While I was taking some shots of the Wellington statue in Waterloo Place I was stopped by an old soldier who though I was a professional who had take his photo before. As I have never made a penny from my photography I honestly said that I wasn’t. He gave me a little of his life story then “tapped” for some change. Sadly and again honestly I had none, in future I will keep a small float in my camera bag for such an occurrence. I now have some change from buying a coffee & a Danish in St James’ centre so if I see him on the way up the road I will give him some.
I was unable to get some of the shots that I had planned due to the amount of building work going on around the city centre.
I am blogging this from my iPhone. Last night I was putting a screen protector on my camera and decided to try on of the spares on the iPhone. First of all I was surprised that of worked at all and I have discovered I am finding typing on the on-screen keyboard a lot more accurate & therefore quicker the it was previously without the screen protector.
It has been months since my last blog post here so the chances are no one will be reading the blog anymore, but hey if you are reading this I am wrong. Post a comment even just saying “Hi”
An iPhone photo of Greyfriars Bobby.

Well, I’m here. Sort of. Or no. Think I’ll be on Plurk. Or something.
Sounds like a reasonably relaxing day out. And a coffee and Danish too. Oh the luxury.
Hi Kev!
Of course I’m still here!
Looking forward to the photos!
