This is a blog by Meg Pickard. YMMV.

All photos » Fresh pile Charity cake sale at Guardian towers solves my mid-afternoon snack conundrum Blackberry Victoria sponge Stand Independence vote would backfire Handing over - the master list By special request - display shelf thing propped on top of restored chest of drawers The fruits of our labour - old chest of drawers for nursery stripped, sanded and painted (knobs match fish motif on adjacent wall) Perfect weather for daft hats Not sure which is more offensive - bad apostrophes or bad kerning What's the collective noun for salty snacks? Testing the baby carrier sling thing with a rolled up pair of jeans. That's basically the same as a baby, right?

    That running from the camera is brilliant! What amuses me greatly is how big in the picture the larger and older people are. Does that make me a bad person?

  2. Meg says:

    Absolutely. BAD Rhys. BAD.

    I was a bit confused as to whether it was the same person running away in each photo, dressed differently or whatever. But now I think about it, probably not.

  3. Rhys says:

    I’m not sure now, it could be the same person (there’s no blondes, for one), and the people do look alike.

    May’ve just lost some weight, and….aged.

    It is me in every picture… how far I manage to get depends mostly on how stable the camera is, I usually don’t use a tripod and if the camera is balancing on the edge of a dustbin or something like that I have to be very careful in pushing the button and I make a slow start…

  5. Meg says:

    Aha! Mystery solved. Thank you!

    I don’t think I’d be confident leaving my camera balanced on something while running away in the other direction – mainly because, in London, I’d be sure that when I turned around I’d see someone running off in the other direction with my camera….

    muggezifter, I’m amazed you’ve never had your camera stolen. Although if you did, and you’d set it onto multiple shots just before, the thief could blog an amazing set of shots of you running away from the camera, turning around, realising it’s being stolen, and then running back towards it to chase the thief.

  7. muggezifter says:

    Well, if you look at the pictures, you will see that most of them were taken in places where there were not many people around… also, occasionally I ask someone to guard the camera for me.

  8. Rhys says:

    I feel REALLY bad now, my apologies muggezifter :(

    Great idea for a blog though :)

    The running from camera blog is great. Very funny.

  10. [...] This is very funny , the guy puts his camera on self-timer and then sees how far away he can get. [via] [...]

By way of explanation…

This is an individual post, which may not be very recent. For the latest stuff on meish dot org, please visit the main page.

By the way, I'm female. It doesn't have much impact on what I write about, or how I write, but I thought I'd point it out because so many people who link to this site seem to assume I'm male.

The clue's in the name: Meg. Like all those other female Megs.

What’s all this, then?

This is a personal site, created and curated continuously since early 2000 by Meg Pickard, a creative geek, passionate photographer, anthropologist and web experience /community /social media specialist, who works for The Guardian & lives in London, UK.
 
The site includes a blog - a personal and evolving collection of links, opinions, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and musings - as well as a variety of other projects. It is also a place to aggregate some of the author's distributed web activity, like photos, links and music.
 
More info about this site and its author.

Important note #1

This is a personal site. The contents and opinions contained within don't necessarily reflect those of my employer, family, or cat. They think for themselves (though mostly about tuna, in at least one case), and so do I.

Important note #2

Since the overwhelming majority of content on this site is historical, it should be regarded in light of the context in which it was originally published, and not as indicative or revealing of current perspectives, preferences or experience.

Important note #3

While I work and spend a lot of time thinking and talking about social media, participatory technologies and community development strategies, the vast majority of content on this site is not about that.

This personal site isn't about anything, except the perpetual unfolding of one person's experience, and the perspectives, observations and opinions that involves and inspires.

You still here?

Oh.
