When I was at secondary school, I had a chemistry teacher who was quite a character. He was very sarcastic and this appealed to me greatly. He also travelled to school every day on a motorbike, which gave him a slightly rebellious edge and made all the other teachers seem very boring in comparison.
“Daddy get a photo of the swan,” said the children. The swan was only too happy to oblige. On seeing my camera, it waddled over to me and this was the picture I snapped.
To mark father’s Day, I thought I’d publish a special photo. Both my kids, Helen and Izzy, have been kept busy taking images for the school photography club during lockdown. Izzy has been a little obsessed with my Lensball and this is an image she took for this week’s photography club assignment.
It’s been one of those week’s where I haven’t had much time for photography. This photograph of a frost-covered spider’s web has been on a memory card ever since I took the image back in December.
News alert! I am planning to sit the maths GCSE this November. It’s something I have been talking about for a couple of years but at long last I am doing something about it, addressing this open wound left over from my school days.
