Night Photography by Haberley Mead
April 6th, 2008 9:52 AMI was out in Stoke with the Fencing chaps (Sports Presentation evening, prizes galore), and come half past two I needed to get home. The university was kind enough to put a bus en route for us at that time, but it would only take us to the Stafford campus. For anybody who hasnt read my previous Tasks along this thread, I'll tell you now - my house is SODDING AGES AWAY from uni. It takes me about an hour to walk home, more if I'm tired and slightly drunk.
...Which I was.
However, all this was deemed unimportant as I left the Civic Hall, and my eyes lit up with innocent childish glee. It was snowing! From the sky! Really! All thoughts of tiredness and bed left my system, and as soon as I got off the bus I knew that I would be doing this Task. Not for the points, or because I was walking that way anyway, but because I knew that this moment wouldn't come again. It is a scientific fact that snow makes everything look prettier, and Stafford was no exception. The following set of pictures are a mix of comments on my feelings, pretty snow shots, and the ubiquitous arty-farty type photos you need to show once you own a camera over about two hundred pounds. Read on!
EPILOGUE
Yep, that was a mistake. Having lived in England for twenty years, I should have thought to take a coat out with me when I left. I'm sitting here with a streaming nose, nasty cough and a generic feeling of shittyness... But who cares? I had fun!

Oh, the wonders of British weather!
And some of the buildings look a bit like our school...
There's a lot of win here. It looks like you can join Team Zero with two photos you've taken there.
And here's a little "how well do you know Lincoln's tastes" quiz. I can make out six women clearly in the "Club of the Year" photo. Which one of them do I find the most attractive?
I see what you mean Vicki.
MFL or Science Block?
Lincoln: I would be honoured to join Team Zero with these pictures. There's also another couple of pre-tired tasks I'm working on at the moment, actually - I'll add them to my player page if nothing else once they're finished.
GY0 guys: I'm pretty sure that's not your school ... Also, I'd be a bit worried if your school looks like that - that is Staford Court, famed for being based on the blueprints for a Swedish open-security prison...
I love this one:
And I wouldn't be surprised if ours was based on a prison too, it does look very similar. I'll try and get a photo on Tuesday to show you.
I have to agree with Tom on favorite picture. Lovely!
And Lincoln... I'm going to guess the lass that's kneeling on the left... she's the one whose pone number I'd be inquiring after.
JTony, she is lovely (as are they all really), but not the one for me.
From the sky!
A photographic task rolled into a made-me-happy task (or is it the other way around?), and for that I thank you.
Vote for the old oak tree..... And well, most the other ones, too.
This is good. I like this a lot.
