And I wonder Why...

What is this site for, and why do I want it here? I've had periods of intense internet activity, and periods of web-presence death. The problem with fulfilling your goals always starts with the problem of identifying your goals. So I'm trying to that right here and right now. Web blogs (for want of a better term) are usually most successful when they have a specific target and they stick to it. After many years I know that I can't do that. I wander, I waffle, I take breaks and then I blather on for ages without taking breaths. Should my blog be for music, or photography, or making knives, or about my bike, my dog, the garden, politics, or teaching?
No matter how much I try to decide, choose and eliminate, I keep on changing roads. The path I take is not a straight one. In fact it seems to spend more time doubling back and veering off that I've come to understand that I'll never reach my destination, not because it is too far away, or because I don't know where it is, but rather because it is just one of many destinations. Each one being the most important on any given day or moment.So I have decided to not decide. Or not decided to decide, the result is the same. One thing is sure though, the one thing that every web blog shares is it has to exist, and that is what I will try to do here: to exist.

Visionary

This sexy looking beast was as high tech as photography could get back in 1975. A Kodak researcher created what was the world's first digital camera: an unholy and unnatural combination of spare parts and bleeding edge digital technology in a monster that would have left Frankenstein himself feeling slightly nauseous.
With its futuristic and unheard of CCD image sensor it took a mere 23 seconds to record a crude 100 line black and white, which it then saved for posterity onto cassette tape.
Although the camera was semi-portable, you needed a suitcase-sized computer to admire your tasteful photographs on a TV screen.
Needless to say, few of those who actually saw this device felt that digital photography was ever going to catch on.

Trafigura

Trafigura takes steaming dump, gags Auntie (SFW) from Bloggerheadsby Manic

This scandal of dumped toxic waste brought down a government, but the Swiss-based multinational Trafigura struggles on in the hope of burying the truth along with the bodies. What a bunch of shameless bastards.

You can help beat Trafigura's gag on the BBC by embedding this Youtube video (1, 2) on your website and linking to this PDF.

Here's why.

If you have a blog, please take the time to do this today with a post of your own. They can't gag us all.

Cute little sequencer

What's Been Going On?

This and that actually. Had some time in the UK for one of my cousin's wedding, ended up taking photographs for it, and they came out pretty good in the end. Not something I've done before, but hey, family is family.
I have a load of stuff to put on the site, so much I feel rather daunted. First of all I want to redesign the front page, make it with a real menu leading to music, photography, blog and anything else that comes to mind. Then the photography section has to be sorted too, right now it's virtually non-existent.
Right, so here's to a flurry of activity, hoping it's not going to be too brief.
Oh, passed my motorcycle theory exam, practical part coming up.

New Galleries

I have two new galleries online.
The first is dedicated to all things Industrial

and the second to photographs taken on my recent trip to the Yorkshire Dales
