Where the sun shines we follow, so it was off to the west coast ,Kintyre was our destination..we found a fantastic spot next to the sea.you'd never guess it was Scotland , the clear water and the sun , it looked like the Mediterranean.
As i sat on my rock ,surveying the marvellous view that was to be the backdrop upon which the rest of the weekend was set, i pondered what i could do this weekend that was a little different from my usual photographic exploits. I remembered a recent flickr group id admired and thought , that's the ticket , ill do some JUMPING . This jumping stuff was not as easy as id imagined, and involved running back and forth from the camera again and again setting timer and timing the jump perfect, I persevered ,looking more and more like a nutter as the time passed luckily our little idyllic spot was deserted so embarrassment was spared. Here are the best pics , if you know a better technique for taking them id love to know, drop me a comment on my comments page.

![]() On our little beach lived : 3 family members, a small grey mouse (heard but not seen till the last day),2 oyster catchers (we believe this is what thier called, in other words a pair of birds)a few crabs, squillions of midges (see photo bellow) an inordinate amount of butterflies, and a seal. Passers by included : a few micro light planes, some fighter jets, surfers and a load of walkers looking for an invisible 'Doon' with no success.

![]() Dreamweaver can kiss my ass! I have mastered its silly ways and the website is complete finally , it's even centred in the screen , a small miracle that was. After the first failed attempt i started from scratch new design, and in the end it took 3 days, and I'm quite pleased with it. Let me know what you think. Next week ill blog a list of the websites by all the fab designers in my class.

I spent all day Wednesday laying out the design and making big last minute changes. Then after some much needed dinner i proceeded to print, cut ,stick, trim and punch holes till 3am.Then 4 hours later i got up , finished (and fixed some 3am mistakes)and off I went to college to spend 3 hours cutting out the shapes in the front cover (ouch sore fingers!!).

I fear this blog of mine will not be prolific, it will not be remarkable or even markable, if there is such a word, it will not influence or imprint upon your mind, it will not speak to you in ways that stir your emotions. I just don't have the talent for writing , and, as someone who is interested in all artistic endeavours I envy the ability in others. But, every effort is being made to improve, beginning with this blog. I hope that you too make the effort to stick with it , to track my progress and my self confidence with this whole writing malarkey will improve. And I in turn will do my darndest to keep up . with your input and comments maybe we can make this blog passable.
The image is an introduction for a book im working on at the moment , the book is going out on display at my degree show.I think ill try a few alternatives to this introduction.... more about the book to come later. |
