New Pictures Added
Whilst out walking the dog in Victoria Park in Cardiff, early one January morning, the statue which is normally covered in water, was covered in ice. Rushing back home, I grabbed my camera, and started work taking pictures. These were originally intended to go up on the old site when it was live, but unfortunately it would have taken 3 hours to add 4 simple pictures.
Fault Finding
It seems I have located the error in the stats system Turns out the stats system is not correctly counting visits, but is correctly counting page views. Wassup was detecting browsers scanning for RSS links which were indicating another hit which was not correct, similarly statpress was counting the correct number of pageviews, but not [...]

Welcome to the new site!
Welcome to the new site, God I’m nervous… Will you all like it? Will you hate it? Will you use the features I’ve been working hard to put in place… I don’t know, but there’s a real heart wrenching story for me, in the fact that I loved the old site, because it was me, It was my design, It was MY site. All of it. And being sat here writing this post a few days before the site goes live… Well I have to say I’m looking at my old site, wishing it could stay, but it just isn’t realistic.

Is it time for a change?
This incarnation of the website has been up for almost two years now, and whilst it’s a far cry from the style I had when this site first started, it’s never been… what I want it to be. Right now it’s got some style, but it’s too sterile…. This is an archive post from the old website.. Click the Read More Button to view the full post

The Winter Wonderland at Cardiff
Every city and town has their own way of celebrating christmas, and this year is no exception for Cardiff with the return of the Winter Wonderland next to Cardiff’s magnificent City Hall. I’ve always planned on photographing the scenes but have never actually gotten round to it due to personal commitments plus the feeling that my photography was not sufficiently developed enough to take the kind of pictures I would want to display…..

Latest News 29 November 2008
I have begun the mammoth task of updating all of the pages to CSS however this really is more of a task than I realized. When I created the site, each page had it’s own style sheet, meaning some styles conflicted. I’ve converted the home page to a style sheet, but the others are going to take a long time to integrate…..This is an archive post from the old website..
