I wish you were beer! Updated October 30, 2020

Some photos of some of the more memorable pints that I have had. (Well... these things keep me going when I am on a dry ship - or in Bangkok, where I have yet to find a decent watering hole...)

The statues: Hogmoor Inclosure photos Updated June 4, 2019

Just a few photos that were taken in and around the Hogmoor Inclosure in Whitehill, Hampshire in the South of England.
artfreaks.com needs a lot of new content, (among other things,) in order to regain any semblance of the search engine rankings which the site used to enjoy years ago. Well... The photography in this album is nothing special - just random snapshots that I took on my cellphone. But I pay enough every month for the server on which this site runs, so I just decided to upload my content to my site - not someone else's...
I am sure that Facebook can manage without it!!

Drawings and sketches Updated May 8, 2019

I started drawing and sketching in 2005 - before moving on to some early attempts at pastel painting. Soft pastels are still my medium of choice but the paintings often start out as a rough sketch, followed by some watercolour embellishments before overlaying with pastel.
Although I don't have much time for art these days, I really must get myself a sketchbook, at least, and bring that with me on my travels...

Welcome, to the Shinkansen! Updated October 10, 2018

There is a slight pause after "Welcome" - for emphasis! And "Shinkansen" is actually three seperate words: 新幹線 Shin-kan-sen or New Trunk Line. This is what people in the West refer to as the "Bullet Train" (when, in fact, "Shinkansen" refers to the rail network, not the trains that run on it).

People Photography and Street Scenes Updated September 1, 2016

Just a few photos that I managed to grab whilst out people watching. I stopped taking these a while ago, when I decided to upgrade to a DSLR camera - which, of course, I never have with me, when I need it... (Previuosly, I had been using a nice little compact camera that used to live on my belt all the time...) Nowadays, of course, we are in the smartphone era. So it's back in to the street photography for me!
