*hums 'Trapt' song of the same title...* *Looks up, reverie broken* Sorry; easily distracted. Righto, first visit in a long time - it's been a busy few months! Home to Hawke's Bay for Christmas, and then again a month later for the big day :D That's right, Rosemary & I tied the knot officially this year - though given we'd been living together over a year before that, it's not like it makes any difference, but twas exciting nonetheless, and a fantastic day with friends and family! I won't be putting shots from the wedding itself on here - I don't feel DA is quite the place for personal shots - a link will be going up from my home page: htt

Well, it's about time I gave a bit of an update. I've been steadily going through pictures, and will be putting more on here as soon as I'm able - pretty much be prepared for a flood when you least expect it. Sadly, my internet at home is unreliable - freezing up my laptop at random moments whenever I try to do pretty much anything - so my activities tend to be confined to time while at work, and all you others who have internet available at work know just how favorably employers think of overuse of their internet... ;P I'm looking to reformat my drive and start again, with XP hopefully, which should help, but I won't be able to for a month

I've decided to follow the example of many Howers (fans of the great artist/illustrator John Howe) in creating an account here, which will mostly serve as a repository for photos that I feel are worthy of public display. I'm not nearly as artistically talented as my fellow Howers, whose feet I sit at, feasting on the crumbs of artistic skill, but I tend to be lucky in my photographs, and am a great admirer of nature in all it's forms. I do love to sketch however, even though most of them are rubbish, but I'll let that to be decided by the masses. Hopefully I'll be able to get some detailed feedback & criticism to let me know where I'm at. I
