THIS EVENING’S STORIES
What is a blog?
What is the Ham Photos blog?
Hidden Ham, eighty photos of hidden things with their stories
Hidden because it has gone
Hidden out of sight
Hidden in plain sight
Quiz, your turn to identify twenty things2
A BLOG IS A SIMPLE WEBSITE
A blog is rather like a diary
It consists of a series of posts containing text and pictures
They are easy and free to create
Popular platforms include Blogger (Google) and WordPress

I CREATED HAM PHOTOS FOR SEVERAL REASONS
I wanted to capture the way that Ham is changing, e.g. shops come and go
I wanted to record Ham as it is now, something like a Domesday Book
I wanted to publicise some of the things that I though should be more widely known, e.g. Sudbrook Lodge
I thought I would do “A Year in Ham” but I keep going!

HAM PHOTOS STARTED IN 2007
There are now over 2,000 photos
The storage available has steadily increased and so has the quality of the pictures
These can be search for by their tags, e.g. parkleys, or by a simple text search
I usually take several photos during a long walk and these can take a few weeks to be posted,
I sometimes forget where I’ve taken the pictures so please forgive any errors.
5
I DO A LOT OF WALKING AROUND HAM
This is a typical walk that I did recently
The route is deliberately indirect, I go down roads and paths that look interesting
Note that some of the route is along passageways, not pavements
I love the way that most of Ham is permeable
6
I HAVE USED SEVERAL CAMERAS
Canon Ixus 55
Canon Ixus 80IS
Canon Powershot 230HS
