Paris froid 3

This is the Jardin des Tuilleries with added snow. If you look carefully you can just make out my friends, Maggie and Mimi, in the evening light. These two are fond of getting up late and shopping. That’s why these photos have so much evening light in them.
Note the lamppost. Watch out for it in future posts! (if you can’t see any horses).

Paris froid 2

One of the best things we did was walk down the Seine towards Notre Dame at dusk on New Year’s Eve (we had to walk down the middle because the banks were closed - ha ha). This is Pont Neuf, complete with lampposts. The photograph has been cropped in the interests of balance.
That’s me on the horse. Watch out for us in future posts!

Paris froid 1

What better way to start my new plan than to post a few holiday snaps!
Over the New Year I was invited to spend a week in Paris with some friends. It was cold but rather wonderful. My style tends towards the Post-Cardist school of photography and this is a good example - it’s got at least two monuments and a lamppost. It’s Place de la Concorde in the evening light. Remarkably boring, but I was there when it happened.
More to come.

Plan B: Change direction...

When I started Non-Stick Plans in April 2007 it never occurred to me to think about what to do if my drawing-a-day plan actually succeeded. The result has been an absence of any plan, non-stick or otherwise, since April 2008. Consequently it's become a bit of a goalless draw. It's become, not extinct, but indistinct.

At last I’ve decided on a new plan which will be to widen this blog's horizons a bit and make it more personal (like a real blog). Starting from tomorrow I'll be posting a greater variety of stuff including 'work I find interesting', photos, paintings, writing etc, as well as the occasional drawing.

How long this plan will stick is anyone’s guess, but at least it's a plan, of sorts. Feel free to back away slowly.
