my photos

I went about some scanning of some of my old 35mm photographs during the small hours. Was just going to do a few but then got on a roll! The above is the result. These are from between 1996 and 1999 with the majority being from 1997. They were taken on my Pentax F20 SLR. There’s even a few here from the Laurent Garnier gig way back in December 98 in the Mean Fiddler.
This embedding is done using Flickr Slideshow Generator. Mmmnn, maybe I could change the whole theme to have a black background and it would look better.

EDIT: Ok I’ve put up a set of some of my better photos and it is on it’s own page now here
Me thinks I will use this now instead of SimpleFlickr for blog posts with photosets. Edited Lightwave below and a few others. Also changing the theme to black in the CSS didn’t really work too well so I will leave it as it. To view this blog filtered with my photography just click on the ‘onphoto’ tag in the tag cloud or click on THIS

Laser Engraving a Mac

I’ve been thinking of getting an engraving on my computer for a while now. Have yet to find a place local that will do this well for a good price. It is a far nicer idea than putting stickers all over it, that’s for sure. I also want to change the colour of the Mac logo, which seems to be a straight forward enough process. iColours are a company in Canada that provide this service, although it is something you can do yourself very easily with some coloured gels.

Anyway, back to the engraving. There are a lot of very cool design out there from people who have bravely put their laptop under the knife. The following are three such examples done to Macs.
