"Another fine Hetherington™ product"

Sometimes when i sit infront of my laptop and decide to post an entry to my blog, something deep inside has a little grumble and groan as i ponder what on earth to write this time. It appears that i dont seem to have the same excitement for blogging as the rest of (or most of) the world.

So while i was pondering, i thought WHY is it i dont get the same urge to tap away at my keyboard and produce some beautiful posts like the ones i read online? Those of both professionals and course peers. And then i thought, well maybe i havent found something yet that really strikes an interest with me, so off i went sifting through numerous links of blogs etc to find something to inspire me (and this did take a little while as there is a countless number of blogs out there) until i came across the blog of Whats the Jackanory? and at this point it was the 2nd post that took me.

Andrew Hetherington is a photographer who started his blog WTJ in 2007 as a promotional tool but it has since taken off and become much more. It was his set 'A Room with a View' that stirred something inside me, and it was a much more positive reaction to that of writing blog entries! A collection of images taken of the view out hotel room windows which he has stayed in over the years. With titles as simple as 'View from from 623' it made me think what an excellent idea! And the pictures were just as pleasing! Take a look for yourself at this small selection:

View from room 149

View from room 322

View from room 623

View from room 302

View from room 221
