During my recent trip to Abu Dhabi, I had one of those moments where you see something quite ludicrous and yet strangely compelling. Actually, all told, it was not a little unimpressive. The Yas Marina Hotel on Yas Island is a building which changes colour during the evening, thanks to an exterior skin peppered with LEDs…oh, and inside it looks like an iPod!

Not much else around it, but the hotel does sit over the top of the track where Abu Dhabi hosted the recent Grand Prix:

In one week’s time I, and 11 colleagues from LBi will be travelling to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates to work with Etihad, the national carrier…should be a fun trip, and I’m going to document it on my fresh new photoblog. I’m aiming for a picture a day but we’ll see…there’s going to be plenty of work to do as well…

It’s been a while since I’ve posted to this blog, and it’s time I got writing again. No excuses for why I’ve been neglecting it, but I guess I kind of fell out of love with the things I used to write about. A little bit of boredom. Malaise even.

So while I’ve been away, some of the things I’ve been up to:

:: I spent a weekend near Toulouse, at Le Chateaux de St Martory, at the wedding of two old friends

:: had a fab weekend at the End of the Road festival, in Dorset. Some pics of a semi-wet, but mostly lovely weekend in the country.

:: I became a semi-pro photographer, by taking photos at one wedding and one party full of people interested in luxury bathroom fittings. I tell ya, it was surely a rock’n'roll evening.

:: I’ve been working on some interesting projects for LBi, and getting involved in lots of other work too. Nice to be back in the East though.

So, more to folllow…

Polperro, CornwallI spent Easter at an amazingly quiet, relaxed seaside town in Cornwall – called Polperro. Fantastic atmosphere, friendly people – and of course some great scenic walks along the coastal path.

St Kilda

Just back from a trip to Melbourne, Australia (with a short detour to visit friends in Adelaide). What a place. Stunning scenery, great food and wine, and brilliant people. Oh, and lifestyle coming out of its pores. Can’t wait to visit again.
Lots of pictures on Flickr.
