New Website Up
Well, i’ve finally go it up and running.
My new website which will display some of my design and photography work is now officially online.
The first thing you’ll probably notice is that im not a web developer! So the finished product was always going to be limited by my basic ability with css and java etc. Regardless, im still reasonably happy with it. It serves its basic purpose which is a platform to display work, not my web development skills.
Anyway, feel free to check it out, and keep visiting every now and then to see my updates.

P.S- I hope you’ve all had a good time over this Christmas period, and you have a great New Year.
Cheers
Woohoo.. I think it worked
Ok, i think i managed to get this blog transferred to another server.
Things got a bit “iffy” for a few hours there, im not a fan of going into databases and editing values, but i think its all working now. Just in time for Christmas too, arent you lucky? 
Anyway, don’t have much to say besides being relieved that i got the blog transferred over and didnt loose any posts/pictures in the process (i dont think).
On another topic. Heres a picture i shot the other day. First time i’d picked up the DSLR in a while. There were some really interesting storm clouds i could see form the back of my house so thought i’d get a few photos. It looked pretty dramatic. I would of loved being in that plane 
Things may get a little bumpy
I’ll be updating wordpress and transferring my newly built website to a different host over the week. Hopefully all goes to plan. I’m not the best at these sort of things. So if my site doesn’t load up, you know why…
Wish me luck!
No, im not dead
Just really busy.
Sorry there hasn’t been many updates recently. Work has been pretty hectic, and my other time has gone into building my new website. That means i haven’t taken many photos in the last few weeks. I have 2 rolls to develop, but that’s it! Pretty disappointing i agree.
Anyway, not much to say now, but hopefully i finish everything before Christmas, as i intend to take quite a few shots over New Years.
P.S- Here’s a shot of the sunset a couple of nights ago from my house.
Back…
Came back from my overseas trip yesterday morning.
Dont really know what to say besides the fact i still wish i was away! Theres nothing exciting about coming back to the usual crap like work etc. But then theres little things like the smell of the ocean and summer that i miss about Australia. Not to mention seeing friends/family again.
The trip went very well. Ended up covering 4 countries in total and saw alot of interesting things.
I took quite a few photos, but left my camera behind on purpose some days. Photos definitely came second, as i was more interested in spending time with relatives that i rarely see than looking through a viewfinder.
Speaking of cameras, the Bessa was terrific i had it with me the majority of the time and never had any issues with it. The DSLR was very handy too but not as enjoyable to use. I didnt end up taking a shot with my digital p&s which was bit of a surprise to me.
I dont know what it is, but for some reason other countries seem to offer alot more photo opportunities than Sydney/Australia. Ofcourse theres alot of things you take for granted about your own country that visitors might find more interesting. But even when you ignore tourist spots and seasonal festivals/events , large cities like Tokyo and many of the smaller cities i visited in Europe seem to just have alot more character. And it’s the people that give it character and a sense of energy i think. I don’t know… I guess it’s not so clear cut, im dealing with generalisations also….
Anyway, i’m off to start developing my b&w film.
