Flickr And…More Flickr…

March 8th, 2010

I’m getting to have a large collection of photo odds and ends laying around that don’t seem to fit anywhere, so I have rebooted my Flickr account.

I have also added a new page here to the site that displays the latest ten of my Flickr uploads.

Go Flickr.

Spring, Books, Returns, Breaks, Life, And So On…

February 27th, 2010

I’m back around after a hectic-yet-nifty two months, and I bring with me to the Algarve (and normal life) some long-awaited springtime.

To prove it, I have uploaded a few pics snapped earlier today to my also-recently-neglected Portugal Life photoblog:

1. Algarve spring carpet.

2. Hillside ruin.

3. Olive tree in Algarve spring.

Yes, those titles are pretty dire, but such is life when you only have a limited amount of keyword choices to keep the search engines onside.

I’m about to take a bit of a break from my regular type of photography, kick back and relax a little, and photograph a lot of the Algarve for a book project of my own. In theory this should mean that the Portugal Life photoblog will see a lot more added to it, though the images that do get added to that are unlikely to be directly from the book, for obvious reasons.

I have plenty of other things going on too, both photography-related and otherwise, so I am likely to be around both virtually here on the blog and physically here in the Algarve for much of this year.

Jonesy’s Jukebox Returns

January 4th, 2010

Almost a year after his sudden shutdown on Indie 103.1, ex-Pistol turned radio DJ Steve Jones is tentatively back on air with Jonesy’s Jukebox shows pencilled in for every Monday-Friday at noon-1pm (LA time).

Listen in here – Jonesy’s Jukebox Live.

If this isn’t good news to start off the year, then I don’t know what is.

Casting Reformation To The Winds

January 1st, 2010

A quote for today, the first of January 2010.

“Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever.”

– Mark Twain. 1863.

New Year’s Resolutions? Not for me.

Portugal Life: Boxing Day Loulé

December 26th, 2009

A quick passing note to say that I just uploaded a handful of new photos to my Portugal Life photoblog.

The new series starts here and ends here.

All of the photos were taken this afternoon in Loulé.
