Took this photo at the Glasgow West End Festival.

Had a stormtrooper try to attack me! Damn Imperial army.

Unfortunately, my camera is now needing repairs. The releasing lock of my SB-600 is not working anymore and is now permanently attached to the Nikon D50. It's out of warranty and I'm getting a quote of £70 to replace the hotshoe. Geez. I don't have that kind of money just now.

Looks like everyone is enjoying the wonderful sun! To all those that have been wondering where I am, I've just had a lack of inspiration for photos recently. And travelling to and fro the hospital has been immensely tiring.

But the nice sunshine has really got me shooting lots!

Thanks Bigboydrums and WoodyAng and skynet for the kind welcome back! I will post more soon. I promise!

Summer is finally upon us. Amazing 20 degree weather (that's celsius in case you wondering) and picnics and barbeques everywhere.

Finally after spending a few months in my bag, my camera gets to come out to play.

Took this photo in Glasgow Green which was the site of many previous public executions. It used to be greeted with much fanfare with families going out to watch the occasion. I'm glad to say that executions aren't done anymore and it's a place to just relax and enjoy the sun.

Except for me who has to beware the pollen count. Damn this hayfever.

And I thought my troubles were over. Just happened to have my Macbook Pro die on me over the week. Neglected to run Time Machine in the last 20 days so lost 20 days worth of RAW files. I only have the JPEGs on flickr to fall back on so am busy trying to download the photos. Had to take a whole day to re-install all my applications and transfer all my files from my Time Machine back into my computer.

Will be slow in uploading any new photos as I try and salvage my photos.

Also... I'm off to see Cirque Du Soleil's Quidam today. Can't wait!

And I'm back to Flickr.

Was trying to keep up with photography and Flickr for the past month but it's been an absolute struggle. Semi-working now in Kilmarnock and it's been 12.5 hour days. By the time you get home you just want to collapse into bed and just sleep the pain away. Haha...

Had to get mobile broadband just to upload this pic up. I realise that I can't willy nilly upload anything I want anymore. 15GB cap a month isn't much and I have to choose wisely what I want to upload.

However, in better news, SUMMER IS HERE! Had an amazing time paintballing on Friday. Was planning on bringing my camera there but I don't know how easy it will be picking shattered glass out of my lens.

So here's a photo of R and G jumping on the trampoline. Lots of distractions everywhere in the photo but I like the photo nonetheless. Makes me happy looking at the clear sky and the happy faces.
