Flickr And…More Flickr…

Monday, 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…

Saturday, 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.

UK Photographer’s Bust Card

Friday, December 4th, 2009

A bust card is available for photographers in the UK who may be stopped and searched, or even detained, under section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

“The card has been compiled by photographers with many years experience dealing with the police and stops and searches as well as legal advice from lawyer Anna Mazzola who specialises in public law, human rights, actions against the police and other detaining authorities.”

You can download it from the ‘I am a photographer, not a terrorist‘ website, or to save them some bandwidth feel free to download it from me directly by clicking on this link: UK Photog Bust Card (64k .pdf).

Either way, be sure to read further details regarding the card on this bust card page and also to read the comments on that page as they contain further useful unformation.
