UPDATE: I'm hijacking my own post in order to make a few comments re the new Flickr UI update...

OK people.... WTF do you think you're doing?! The old Flickr may have been a bit clunky, and a bit out of date, but I was pretty happy with the slow evolution of the UI and features. It used to be a community, first and foremost, but the new UI and account T+Cs seem to have killed that at a stroke.

I am NOT happy, and I'm currently backing up my posts and looking at alternatives to my beloved Flickr.

I'd be very interested to hear if anyone else is considering abandoning ship and where we, the displaced, might go... what are YOUR thoughts on all of this?

-----------------------

The last seven days have been a bit of a whirl, and my youngest daughter is here for a sleepover tonight.

Lost a long-time customer, sadly, but possibly gained another... if I get the proposal right.

Got 98% for my university essay on Plato (yes, I'm feeling smug :-)). Overall score for the submission (two essays) was 83%... clearly I'm better with philosophy than with operatic divas!

Heard from someone I love dearly, but didn't ever expect to speak to again.

My dear Antipodean friend paloetic recently tagged me in one of her fabulous dedication series. I'm hugely flattered to be included there, and can only say how much I appreciate that nod.

Please do pop over and take a look at paloetic's work... unlike me she posts images with much joy, light and warmth. Maybe it's the weather down there in Oz but I love the magic that she captures.

So these Primula are for you, palo, my dear. With hugs, and thanks, from blighty x

This is a terrible shot, but I like it... not sure why.

Finally finished my 365. It's taken a lot longer than a year but, because I'm stubborn, I've kept on doing it. It's been a turbulent time, and not something I intend to repeat at a personal level. That said, I think doing the 365 project is on the whole a great idea --- I think there are some really good shots in there.

Will I be doing it again? I'm not sure, but for the moment I'm giving it a rest. Maybe I'll do a 52-week project?

Thank you all for viewing these, and putting up with some really random ones... your comments have been, without exception, wonderfully positive. Thank you again!

HSS everyone! The little Ilford is coming together nicely, though today did involve wire wool and UHU glue... possibly not materials to be used on a more modern camera :-)

I've even blacked out the, ridiculously shiny, front and back of the shutter mechanism for 'improved performance'... haha!

Now I just need to wait for the glue to set properly, and to pack the viewfinder lenses with blu-tack (they rattle like crazy) and the old dear is ready to rock (T-Max 400 due to arrive mid-week)

Taken with Vignette app and processed via pixlr-o-matic... Salomon effect / Amalia overlay.
