This is a picture of my brother. It was taken last year in Japan when the family came to visit for my wedding. It was timed so that it coincided with the danjiri festival in Kishiwada.

I really like this photo. I like the contrast between the signs in the back and the figure in the foreground.

I’m still unemployed. I’m looking for jobs and travelling between Bournemouth and London weekly for interviews. It’s getting to the point where I don’t care what I do as long as I can get a job to get the visa application for my wife into full gear.

Skype is being a real lifesaver. It allows for daily chats and videocalls where I can see my family and sing to my baby. There’s a great post over at my favourite blog lifehacker about the best online file sharing services which was well-timed. With those services we’ve shared pictures of my baby suffering through chickenpox which I was powerless to do anything about and a video of her post recovery squealing with delight on a teacup ride at a local playland.

My old school friend is getting married June 28th and that’s the target we’ve set for the family to join me. I went clay pigeon shooting and go-karting on the stag do last weekend which was great fun.

I borrowed an old point and shoot camera off my friend last night that I’ll be able to take everywhere I go and which should mean I can put up more photos of England soon.
