Reading the signs

Dan’s digital camera has been kept very busy this year. Much of the time, we’re taking the more conventional kind of holiday snap, but I’ve also been taking pictures on work trips which I can use in presentation, to bring the language assistant experience to life.

So, as a mix of both: here are some of the more unusual examples of signage we’ve come across this year.

And first prize for signage has to go to Madrid’s airport, which helps you locate the right place with use of beautiful colour coding. It’s not just us - it won the Stirling prize this year for UK architecture (as the architect is from the UK, even though the building is elsewhere). If you were to ’sing a rainbow’, this would be a good starting point.

Christmas images 2005

Here’s some of the pictures we took last year with Dan’s snazzy camera.  They are of our Christmas tree decorations, and were intended to become the images on cards.  We felt a bit like studio photographers setting them up - it’s useful having plain white chairs as backdrops.  Thankfully all the subjects were well behaved, and have agreed to waive fees for appearing this year.
