A Thank You to my followers... It was creeping up for a while and suddenly it was here - the figure of 12000 for my list of followers on Facebook. Having that many people watching my photography seems a bit…

I'm spending a bit of time renovating the website. I haven't made major changes, it's more a matter of bringing some uniformity and consistency across the site. From time to time I've made some design changes to pager or galleries…
