Holiday Photos 2015 – 2017 (at last!) – I told you I’d get round to it!

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2017

This blog post is long overdue, and it’s to notify you that I have now fully updated the Holiday Photograph Album, to include the holiday photographs we’ve taken on the following holidays from March 2015 to August 2017. If you are interested in looking at our photographs, there are a few….(and a special treat the Reviewer – Lindsey has included a few photos of herself, which is a rare treat!)

I’ll also include some written “narration” because I’ve removed Lindsey’s catalog numbers, the link above will take you directly to the album if you want to go direct to the photos for specific holidays, click below

1. India & Bhutan (Feb/March 2015)

3. Jordan (March 2016 Postponed due to Accident)

4. Spain – Malaga, Cordoba, Seville, Granada (Sept 2016)

5. Jordan – (March 2017)

(Photos in this order – Amman, Jerash, Mount Nebo, Madaba, Shoback, Little Petra, Petra Day 1, Petra Day 2, Wadirum, Dead sea, East Desert Castles).

I have got an excuse, as you know I was involved in a car accident in 2016, which delayed me completing the album, and it does take a lot of work, as I have to resample all the photos, and manually code the website, and that involves my brain and some JAVA! (not coffee, computer programming!), and the computer the code was on has failed!

Anyway another Task on the To Do List – Completed!

Old Photo Archive – Sony Glasstron Glasses

Thursday, September 19th, 2013

After receiving an email from a friend, asking for a larger resolution photograph of him from the 1991!

I thought I would go back through the back catalog of unpublished photographs

These pictures were taken in 1999, these are Sony Glasstron Glasses, which projects a large cinema screen in front of the viewers eyes, I used them to watch DVDs on my portable DVD player, whilst community to clients site on the train. On two separate occasions whilst sitting in First Class on the train to Edinburgh, watching a DVD, a GNER Ticket Inspector interrupted me, and asked “which stop are you departing the train, so I can help you, Sir” – he thought I was blind!
