Simon Dale Quotidianquotidian /kwo/tid' i-ən/ adj. daily; recurring daily, any activity that follows a regular recurrent pattern, everyday, commonplace (from Latin quot = how many + dies =day).

This site has been going on in one form or another since March 2004. Since December 05 the images have been larger and the format is more or less as now, although many design and coding updates have been implemented. See the archive fly out menu at left.

I really do try to take a picture every day, but obviously sometimes circumstances prevent it. Human failings (especially lack of ideas) sometimes get in the way, as does the English weather, grey days are often a challenge.

August 2010: New categories ! To make searching for subject matter easier, blogs can fall into several categories, instead of each image being defined by one category alone. Therefore to see all the blogs for (say) Lewes, select "Lewes" from the categories drop down menu. Some of these blogs could be also in architecture, landscapes, close-up, 0-100 etc etc.

January 2011: Olympus Pen E-PL1 Camera purchased after much deliberation and soul searching, but pleased with it so far. Like an SLR but not like one: so called Micro 4 thirds construction, and without a mirror. Images are a great leap forward in quality, detail, and resolution.

Other cameras that are used on this site are: Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ7, Canon Powershot SX10 1S, Canon Powershot S80, Pentax Optio 555, Olympus C2040 (all pictured) a Fuji A240 and sometimes my mobile phone. See below. (The Pentax and Canon S80 were both damaged beyond repair)

February 2012: New design and partial rebuild.
