Farmers Weekly: Rural Porn
I'm so proud to work here sometimes. This is the follow-up to the Farmers Weekly video I posted a week or so back:
The Family Album
Another recovery scan - and this one has proved to be rather more tricky to get the colour right. Dad, Mark and Mum are standing in what I think is the courtyard of Castle Campbell in Dollar, where I grew up.
I've no idea who the random kid on the left is. However, he adds a slightly creepy touch to the image and, with the square composition and the large empty space above (not to mention the slightly odd colours), this looks a bit like an LP cover.
Which is cool.
Here's another one from the same set:

QotD: You'd Never Believe It
What story from your wild-and-crazy youth would nobody believe about you today?
July 1992. Leytonstone. Nobody today believes that that's me at the front…
New Old Photo
I've been having fun with the scanner again.
This is one of the oldest photos I've ever taken. My models are my great auntie Joan and great uncle Jim, and my brother Mark. I'd guess that this was taken around 1978 or 1979, and is in a Scottish historic building of some sort. I wonder if Mum will remember where.
This is the best the picture has ever looked. The film was left in the camera for waaaay too long, and was badly colour-shifted when it was developed.
Now, through the wonders of modern technology, and a little work, it looks somewhat like it should have looked in the first place.

My Voxiversary
I just realised: I've been on Vox for one year now.
My, but a lot has changed in that year…
Tour of Dublin
A few weeks back, Karl and I went to Dublin, to visit the offices of Irish Medical Times. Michael, the mag's publisher, took us on a quick walking tour of the city after lunch, and I grabbed a few photos on my phone:
Cameraphone Letdown
While the humble mobile phone has all but replaced my digital compact camera for taking snaps on the go, once in a while I get frustrated by its limitations.
There was that pic of a field of rape a few months back. And I've just found this snap left on my phone. It was meant to be of the wonderfully warm, rich, orange light I could see one evening from my office window.
And it looks, well, mundane.
Maybe I should start carrying my digital SLR with me everywhere,
