Ok I have spoken to Mark my old and future boss .. Cayman is calling now heavily.

• Temp permit filled out
• looking for place to stay on arrival
• looking for flight prices
• making sure i know what i want to take with me as it won’t be everything i used to have!!
• looking forward to seeing old freinds r, k , a , m, c , s, a

I am going to have problems deciding what to take especially until I know where I am staying and how much space I will have although I could always store stuff somewhere else I guess. Depending on how it works out I will take as much as I need which will be clothes and camera, I will pack up things I will want but dont have room for and either come back for them after a while like a few months or I will get my brother or someone else to bring them out when they visit me

look forward to seeing ya if you are still there or having you visit sometime soon if you’re not

I’ve been messing around with flash to learn some new tricks and get to grips with ones I have forgotten. I really like flash it is just so time consuming. Either way while I was on the airplane recently I started mentally going through all my photos. I realised I had just spent 5 years from 2000 to 2005 in Grand Cayman, and I love top 5 lists, so I made my top 5 photo moments, or top five photos which remind me of times when i was happy, the kinda happy you don’t realise but you remember. So I managed to choose five images that represent the best of the first five years of this millenium to me! Some didn’t make it for various reasons, but these were things that I remembered without thinking about them. ……click here…….

Incase anyone wants to know

I am in New York until the 22d of February
I have plans to go to Scotland and London afterwards
I would also like to go to Spain to go and see old friends

I will post some piccies and news from New York hopefully. So you can see what fun I am having.
Today though was full of packing and one whole day of work on http://yup.digideep.com/test/ which is coming along so fast I have some help from a coder called Sam from www.rentacoder.com he’s been great so far and thinks he can make us a great back end in a few more days. The site is dynamically driven .. which is awesome … postnuke was so overkill for it .. and i really like th new look. Let me know what ya think.

I will have my cell phone in New York, I can be SMS’d from digitallywet [at] msn dot com I will also be able toget email and check the web from time to time.

Laters y’all

I wouldn’t go so far as to say this is by any means complete nor are the images as good as they could be but I have started using Printroom.com which I was given free for life. I am not sure where the products post to internationally. When i first got it it was just the USA.
I am planning on putting up 5 of every type of photo I like to take in different galleries.
I hope that some people like them and that they do sell but most of all I just needed to do this.

My Print Room Galleries

I would ideally like to have these displayed on my own site with print me choice buttons .. which I am told is very possible and as soon as I have picked out the galleries and their images I will make a start on that.

I have been messing around in photoshop today… messing with some new skills i learnt ..Inow need to attacksome images to make a portfolio of altered photos.

I got a little carried away and made a new splash page at http://giles.shaxted.co.uk out of some of these photos just because i like them so much.
