~day 1: God is Love~


Image by theroamincatholic
I decided to start this ’365′ project today, October 26, 2010. However, this photo journal of a year is not going to be, hopefully, about ‘me’ and ‘my life.’ I want these images to show how God was present in every day of 365. This is how He was present in these days in my life. He was also present, on those same days, in your life, and in the life of everyone on this planet, and in the life of the whole universe.

Today a friend–Satomi–sent me a card. This was inside. This is ‘God is Love’ written in Japanese. Like me, Satomi is a convert to Christianity, and although she’s from a distant place and culture, our life experiences have brought us close together. This friendship is to glorify God, to show the power of what His Love can do.

God loves every nation, not just yours.

God calls everyone ‘friend’, not just those you call friend.

God loves everyone, not just the people you find it easy to love.

God loves you, more than you can imagine.

The best laid plans…

View On Black

I decided to have a trip to Craster today and try to catch the sunrise. Checked my gear last night, set off and got there in plenty time. Wandered off towards Dunstanburgh Castle and stopped to take a quick shot on the way up.

The first two images of the set shot fine, third one shot and then the light to indicate the card was being written to stayed on for a moment, and then a bit longer and didn’t go off… tried to turn the camera off, no joy, still writing – tried to change settings, no luck, realised the camera was up the spout and the day was a wash-out. Arse.

Got home an hour later, camera still writing, looked on the net – couldn’t find anything relevant. Decided desperate measures were called for and took the batteries out. Seems to have cured it, though a bit concerned, but discovered those two first images were still on the card…. this is an HDR composed of them.

The sunrise was pretty fantastic…

[EDIT]: The sky was that pink, the rocks were that blue – checked back on the original shots as I found it a bit hard to believe myself.

Spratt’s Patent Limited factory, Poplar

Patent House, Fawe Street, Explore #19, March 7, 2008.
Located in Poplar, East London is the former factory site of dog-food pioneer James Spratt, built in 1899. An American electrician, Spratt saw the chewy gristle meal that London market porters made for their dogs and realised the commercial potential for canning and baking his own versions. Brands such as Bonio resulted, and the business also diversified into food for other pets. Before 1914 the factory also made food for human consumption under the "Poplar" brand. In the Boer War 4 million biscuits a week were made for the British Army.

Spratts was one of the most heavily marketed brands in the early 20th century, with heavy recognition of the brand through clever logo development, lifestyle advertising and support through devices such as cigarette cards.

Today, the factory is a well-preserved site with about 100 live-work units called Limehouse Cut, after the canal running along the northern edge. Much of the original markings are visible on the buildings, with names painted on the DLR track-side walls, and on the small chimney visible from Morris Road.
