Marketer, pickled onion enthusiast, Disneyland Paris nerd. I travel to lots of places and take lots of photos. When I can remember to post, you'll find digital, film, and a lot of cat photos here (look out for my definitely not daily #DailyDoseOfDJ 🐈‍⬛).

A crow wandering along the shore of Weymouth beach, with very gentle waves lapping behind them. The crow's feathers are slightly ruffled by the wind.
Film photo of a flat white coffee in a glass in a wooden table, with a pastry on a plate blurred in the background.
Photo of DJ the black cat, sitting in a radiator hammock with his tail curled up near his face.
Video of a black cat sitting in the dark under a desk, eating a frozen cat yoghurt treat.
Photo of an orange and white boat labelled "Beans Seal Trips" out on the ocean, with lots of people sitting in the boat and a strip of land in the background.
Film photograph of the Oliveto restaurant in Weymouth, showing the restaurant building on the beach with the sea in front of it, to the right of the photo.
DJ the black cat, curled up on the cushion of a dining room chair with a few little toe beans on display.
Film photo looking down a corridor with chairs stacked near the door at the end. The walls are green, the carpet and door are pink, and the sunlight is filtering through some windows (not in shot), giving everything an even more pink glow.
Photo of DJ the black cat, curled up on a beanbag that's covered with a Little Mermaid blanket.
Film photograph of a little orange and white boat, on land near Portland Castle (not pictured), facing out towards the sea under a cloudy but blue sky. More land can be seen behind the sea in the background.
DJ the black cat, lying on his back on a pile of cushions in the sun. His little face is upside down, he's looking towards the camera with half-closed eyes, and some of his black fur looks a rusty brown in the sun.
A sleepy-looking squirrel resting on a tree branch with a half-closed eye.
DJ the black cat, curled up on a sunlit bed and snoozing in the sun with his paws stretched out.
A robin perching on a branch and leaning forwards inquisitively.
Photo of a magpie sitting on a tree branch and looking up to the right of the picture.
Photo of the Aurora Borealis in Tromsø, Norway. The lights look like green curtains against a starry sky, lighting up salmon pink clouds.
A moody landscape in the Lake District, with mist-covered mountains surrounding a lake.
Photo of DJ the black cat, lounging on a bed in the sunshine with a paw stretched out. Photo is obviously from last year; neither Deej nor I have seen the sun in what feels like months.
Photo of a penguin swimming past the glass of a large pool at London Zoo, with his face mostly under the water line.
Film photo of a turret in Budapest's Fisherman's Bastion, reflected in the windows of a much more modern building.
Photo of a pink sunrise above a farm, some fields, and a frozen pond with a dragonfly statue.

Close-up of an abandoned building, with a moss-covered window framing a brick wall behind it.
Film photo of DJ the black cat, sitting on a sunlit floor and looking up with his face partly shaded by the shadow of a window frame.
A female blackbird sitting on a berry-covered branch, partially silhouetted, in front of a faintly pink sunrise sky.

A sky full of pink-tinged sunset clouds behind a lighthouse.
DJ the black cat pawing at a dangling string of Christmas lights, which was subsequently repositioned to be NOT dangling.
A small seal pup lying on its side and looking across to the right, on a pebbly beach.
Photo of DJ the black cat, who is mostly in darkness, with the left side of his outline illuminated by the off-camera sun. He is sitting up and looking towards the left of the image.
A grey seal with her newborn baby, lying on some pale rocks. The tiny baby still has a little bit of blood on them, on account of just having been born, and is looking up to the side of the photo with a curious expression.
Photo of a giraffe peering through an open green door in a brick wall at London Zoo.
DJ the black cat, sitting on my stomach while I lie in bed and staring straight ahead at the camera.
Photo of a deer staring at the camera and pulling its lips back in a fairly disconcerting expression.
Photo of a deer looking to the side with a hoof raised.
DJ the black cat, stretching up to me with his claws out at the camera, while I sit at a computer desk. Looks a lot more menacing than it actually is - he's gearing up to jump on my lap, cuddle, and purr as loudly as an engine for the next half hour.
Photo of a sheep standing on some grass.
Photo of some sheep grazing in a field against a sun-streaked backdrop of the Peak District.
DJ the black cat relaxes on a grey duvet, next to a red blanket and kneading the air while receiving cuddles.

A fish swimming amongst some reeds in a very clear blue lake.
Film photo of the island of Ischia in Italy, with some boats on the sea and tree-lined hills and buildings in the background - but the camera shutters are halfway shut, obscuring the top right and bottom left corners of the shot so that you can only see a strip in the middle.
Film photo taken from under a large parasol at an outdoor café area in Tartini Square, Piran, Slovenia. In the foreground, beneath the parasol, are people sitting at tables, and in the background are the white buildings of the square and a blue sky.
