  1. "Are you sure you haven't been followed, Bryan?"
    "Don't worry, Nige."
    "Then who's that bloke?"
    "Oh, him? He's just my caption guy."
    "Alright. Here's today's posts."
    "Great. Thanks. I had better get back. I have ten articles and two books to finish before lunch."

  8. But, Bryan, it is atmospheric. It's got light, shade, movement, classic profiles, a trendy cap, the impression of a partial eclipse, a tangible sense of a crashing sea and a freezing wind blowing straight from the Russia; what more do we need look for in a great photo? In fact, it's so good, a caption contest almost demeans it.

  9. " In Norfolk we fence the dunes to protect them from the elements."

    "Call that a fence! Sydney's CBD is currently encased by a 3.5 metre fence to protect the APEC members. 21 World Leaders are peering out of their courtesy cars wondering if they've accidentally been sent to Baxter Detention Centre..."

  17. Is Bryan stepping forward in expectation or back in fear, or is he stepping both ways, practicing the Bombay two-step?

  26. Bryan, do you realise you manage to look grumpy & sceptical & armed even in low-light profile shots? Could you please put a subtitle to your blog: GRUMPY, SCEPTICAL & ARMED? Just for a week.

    i think you would be armed with a cosh and some sort of handgun.
