Early on I decided not to go the route of another blog headed with my name, I wanted to separate to somehow develop a brand whose identity would lead to the man behind the brand. Why?

A new year and all that jazz has given me the idea each week posting a picture that I have taken and telling a short storey around it. Anyway, it is imaginatively called Picture of the Week or potw. überBusy looks set to get a little more Busy.
As many of won’t know I have a flickr page with some of the pics I am most fond of but since they hardly ever feature on here, well you know.
