 I have been between things today and not really able to settle on a single thing to do with myself. I've had an itch to review the cameras I own, that aren't already well documented online. I mean I could write about my AE-1, but I doubt I could say very much that hasn't already been said.  I'll do the cameras that are less well documented first. My black  Bronica EC sitting on the stairs (and a fixer stain left of centre) I'll try to cover the aspects of the camera I like and don't like, I'm not well equipped for product photography so if you want to see good pictures of the camera then I suggest Google. I also regularly compare this camera to the Mamiya RB67. This is for two reasons, the first being that I originally planned to buy an RB and the second is that a friend of Mine owns one, so I have a decent idea of how they feel. The older Bronica cameras also act as a kind of alternative to the RB, in terms of price. I don't see the point in intensivel...

 This will be updated regularly to detail the things distracting me. The sort of stuff playing on my mind when I'm staring out the window on the bus.  In maths in high school the teacher actually shut the blinds because I spent to much time looking at the trees outside. I'm of the opinion that you can't choose what you find interesting. Music (because I'll always be interested in this one way or another): Reggae and DUB (listening), mainly for the purpose of mixing, but I'm enjoying the listening. Trying to be discerning with the tunes I select for mixing Ambient music (listening), on the Fripp and Eno end of things. I've never really been to keen on 40 mins of weird noises. I've been trying to make somewhat floaty, psychedelic loops on guitar, but I think I could do with improving my music theory knowledge to make finding good chords less trial and error. General: Maps, more specifically I've been trying to plan out a holiday that will take me to hidden...

I am always curious of the lives of other, it is possible that you reading this are curious about mine. I don't think my memoirs are useful to many people, so I'll give some key points. My name is Owen N T Jameson. You get the N if you're my friend and the T if you happen to see my passport. Most people know me by my first and last name. For those it concerns I'm a He/Him person I am from and currently live in Carnoustie, Scotland. That's near Dundee for the surprising number of people who don't know. I am an undergraduate Mechanical Engineer at Dundee, with buyers remorse on being to much of a wuss to move to Glasgow. I do everything alternatively, I don't like the status quo and I don't like people accepting things just because it's what they know. I am very cynical, although this does not mean that I am always grumpy. Although I am an engineer, I would say that my outlook is more similar to the stereotypical art student, who I am sympathetic for. ...

 24/02/21 I am not usually someone who finds himself troubled with insomnia. I am of course thankful of this, since the quality of ones sleep seems to dictate the quality of ones work. Tonight is an exception, where trying sleep is painful to my psyche. I am not entirely sure how to describe the dreams I've been having but this is not the first time I have had them. They are a sort of confusing nightmare. Within these dreams there exists no horror, but I find them far more disturbing that something of that nature. It is usually something along the lines of an abstracted mathematical concept. One which I am trying to solve. The problem is the concept makes no sense and exists only as an abstraction in my mind. When I wake up and come to my senses I can never recall or describe the problem, yet the associated stress remains. Even reminding myself of the 'real' situation, I will close my eyes and within thirty seconds the problem will return. This is why I am typing here tonig...

 21/01/2021 I've been  avoiding spending the time to write here again since not a soul has viewed any of my posts since December. Let alone read one them. I'm an impatient bastard and I want to see someone look at the fruits of my labour. What I've got today is some observations on some interesting packaging and a new take (I have only just started thinking about) on relationships. I will also write briefly on starting back at University of Dundee Mechanical Engineering. Uni first to get it out the way. I'm getting on quite well with managing my work flow. It seems that entering semester everyone pretty much knows what to expect. I've been managing my work load well (although it is only week one). I'm back to getting up at 6.30am; because I'm nearly 20 and still have a paper round. Getting up early would be great in the holidays if I could just motivate myself to do it. I've made two effort in self improvement this week, one of which has worked incredibl...

12/01/2021   I suppose the downfall of the blog is the thinking that I have nothing worth writing about. I had that feeling tonight but I thought it's already been two days since I wrote on here so I have to write something. Too easy just to right off every day of my life.  I'll start recounting my day and see if anything comes up that sets the juices flowing.      Like every other day of the holidays I've set an alarm and proceeded to completely ignore it. I know for a fact that getting up early makes me much more productive, but I also know for a fact that getting out of bed when it's cold and nothing immediately needs doing is difficult. I didn't get up until about 11.30. I wanted to get up at 10. I gave Marc a hard time about not cooking lunch, and his plan to do so in an untimely manner. It's strange Marc having gone to Uni and come back with many skills. I have to put myself in the backseat for something I've done for years. To elaborate, until M...
