"Oh is this the way they say the future's meant to feel? Or just 20,000 people standing in a field."

Inspired by a summer chasing the light and looking for that oh so special field!

View On Black

Who would have believed that a passion for Irish folk music and a passion for photographing fields could have caused me so much pain and anger! Well many saw the little tit for tat the other week which really fucked me off to be honest! I don't claim to be a professional photographer just someone who enjoys the journey of finding new places and experimenting with new techniques. In many ways I'm here for a bit of a craic, a joke and watching my flickr buddies doing things that excite me and also inspire me! But more importantly I'm wandering along doing something that makes me smile and takes the edge of my illness and has helped with my treatment no end.

So when the "straw that broke the camel's back" happened the other week I really fell into a situation whereby I thought I've had enough of this, if that is what flickr is coming to whereby you cannot say why you called an image what you did, then that is not a place I want to be! So I've cooled down and have decided to re post the offending image but I've disabled the comments as it's unfair to open that can of worms again and I've renamed it!

But the little shit's that gave me a bit of earache have also inspired to go stand in another field! This field is by my favourite road in Scotland, it's only just wide enough for two cars to pass each other and it has the most amazing fields!

Can you believe I was standing upto my waist in this field, wearing a bright pink shirt and waving at passing farmers on tractors in the hope they wouldn't shoot me! I bet they went straight to the pub that night and said "I know every village has one but I've just seen a new one in a pink shirt in a field waving at me!"

So love the lines from the farmers tractor! This title is taken from the awesome Pulp track, sorted for E's & Whizz which I must admit I could have done with some the other week to chill out with! Anyhow settled for a few beers instead!

Normal service is resumed and I hope you will forgive my outburst! And once again many thanks for all the emails, messages and comments of support! Some fantastic folk out there and have a great weekend!

Lyrics from Sorted For E's & Wizz by Pulp

"Oh is this the way they say the future's meant to feel?
Or just 20,000 people standing in a field.
And I don't quite understand just what this feeling is.
But that's okay cos we're all sorted out for E's and wizz.
And tell me when the spaceship lands cos all this has just got to mean something.

In the middle of the night,
it feels alright,
but then tommorow morning.
Oh then you come down.

Oh yeah the pirate radio told us what was going down.
Got the tickets from some fucked up bloke in Camden Town.
Oh and no-one seems to know exactly where it is.
But that's okay cos we're all sorted out for E's and wizz.
At 4 o'clock the normal world seems very, very, very far away.
Alright.

In the middle of the night,
it feels alright,
but then tommorow morning.
Oh then you come down.

Just keep on moving...
Everybody asks your name,
they say we're all the same and it's "nice one,"
"geezer"
but that's as far as the conversation went.
I lost my friends, I dance alone,
it's six o'clock, I wanna go home.
But it's "no way," "not today,"
makes you wonder what it meant.
And this hollow feeling grows and grows and grows and grows,
and you want to phone your mother and say,
"Mother, I can never come home again,
cos I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere,
somewhere in a field in Hampshire."
Alright."
