A Walk in Westbere
This is the first post in a reconstruction of my Blipfoto 365 Project from May 2013, which ran until January 2015 without missing a day. For years I had thought this was lost to time, but I recently discovered the journal had been archived on the Wayback Machine and I’ve been able to retrieve the text. The images will each be remastered from the original RAW files, but using modern software and AI tools, not to mention more than a decade of additional experience I’ve gained in image editing.
Photography has been a much-loved hobby for most of my life, and I have started to work on it more seriously in the last few years. Blipfoto was a wonderful discovery - it made me get out and take pictures every day when otherwise I would probably have merely thought wistfully about it. Thanks to the progress I made through regular blipping, I've gone on to join the Royal Photographic Society and gained my ARPS distinction in October 2014. I discovered I was pretty much a monochrome photographer at heart but with broad tastes in subject matter: people pictures, landscapes, street and abstracts for the most part - with a particular interest in environmental portraits and images of the Kentish countryside and coast.
Wayback Archive did not record the first page of the blip journal, so the (undoubtedly witty) text is lost, but the image shows a family walk along the lakeside trails in Westbere.
