It’s Good Friday today! I’m a bit delayed writing this week’s Friday Review because for some reason I decided to pop out to Burgess Park this morning before sunrise to capture a quick timelapse video of the sunrise. Lucy said, “where’s the rest of it?” – this is about 2 HOURS of recording time. Oh well…

Elon’s Roof
The Tesla Solar Roof is every bit as beautiful as I hoped. Hoping @PGE4Me allows us to turn it on very soon. I feel like we’re living in the future! @Tesla @elonmusk pic.twitter.com/PoAm14peFB

Featured Instagram: Elsa Bleda
I’m definitely not the first to find Elsa’s work alluring (81k followers and counting). She has a wonderful Blade Runner-inspired, atmospheric and neon-filled aesthetic. Her account is filled with moody, nightscapes but the misty atmospheric style and bright fluorescent lighting carries through, giving her shots a consistent look.

And finally…
I don’t want to keep going on about it, but… I’ve finally got the first episode of my podcast up – available on iTunes and Stitcher initially. You can read more about it and listen or subscribe to the podcast here.
At Easter last year I was photographing a student conference out in Germany, which was a lot of fun, but I must admit I’m happy to have a quiet one this year after a very busy term. Hope you all have a very happy Easter!
