Things that have been and things that are yet to be

A few changes to the site, some forced, some of my own choosing and a little bit of news about where I’m heading next.. Sadly the maker of my 360º Camera have recently gone bust, taking their website down and all my hosted images with them. I feel quite sorry for them as they made […]

Rock the boat, don’t rock the boat baby!

I’d never seen so many sick people in one place as when I went whale watching.There must have been 40 people on the boat. Of those I’d say that there were about 6 of us that weren’t throwing up all over the place.Seriously, it was bad. I got absolutely soaked through as I had to […]
