Photography by Mike Baker » Where is my mind?

I took this photo while on holiday in Northumbria, which has one of the most unspoilt coastlines in England. The light flitting across the grass cast wonderful shadows.

From the web site:-

Photography is under attack. Across the country it that seems anyone with a camera is being targeted as a potential terrorist, whether amateur or professional, whether landscape, architectural or street photographer.

Not only is it corrosive of press freedom but creation of the collective visual history of our country is extinguished by anti-terrorist legislation designed to protect the heritage it prevents us recording.

This campaign is for everyone who values visual imagery, not just photographers.

We must work together now to stop this before photography becomes a part of history rather than a way of recording it.

The site has some useful information for photographers about your rights, and a useful print-out-and-keep bust card with a summary on, so you can be sure where you stand if stopped by the police.

While everyone else was striding around the Turbine Hall, he waited.

I was considering buying a netbook so that my wife and I could access the internet and email simultaneously, and with a 1 year old son, being able to get something done online quickly while not in the room we use as an office seemed a great idea. But why buy a netbook, when we are Mac users? Surely we could buy a second hand Mac laptop for a similar price? A good idea, if only I had picked a different laptop and buyer.
