This is my personal blog, not a venue for saleable images. In fact, because it's here that I share things that are important to me with the members of the moblog community, photo quality's not my priority. Events, occasions, achievements, thoughts, trips and experiments - you'll find them all here. Contact me for the development version of my photo portfolio, for a selection of saleable images or visit my dance photography blog or my website for cuttings. And remember that all photos remain my copyright unless I've specifically said otherwise.

"Never to get lost is not to live, not to know how to get lost brings you to destruction, and somewhere in the terra incognita in between lies a life of discovery."
........ Rebecca Solnit
"Give, give, give -- what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine."
........ Isabel Allende
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs - ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
........ Harold Thurman Whitman
"The real voyage of discovery consists not of seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes...."
........ Marcel Proust
"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.. you have no such accurate remembrance of a country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle...."
........ Ernest Hemingway
"Ambition leads me not only father than any other man has been before me, but as far as I think it is possible for man to go."
........ James Cook
"The grand show is enternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapour is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls."
........ John Muir
"The bicycle is the most civilised conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart."
........ Iris Murdoch
"Photography for me is not looking, it's feeling. If you can't feel what you're looking at, then you're never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your picture...."

I am getting really fed up with the posting problems here. When am I going to be able to post more than one image at a time again - or even post the one image once and be able to see it. This morning 3 problems - first time (and now) I can't see the image I posted at all, tried again and got 2 images and now appear to have none, (error message copied next... The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /files/570635/delete/.) When trying to get the image up in the first place the error message was an uncrecognised POST /post.
While I understand that you guys are working hard to try and fix these things I also wonder how many new and existing mobloggers may be becoming alienated as a result of the succession of problems and then the waiting for resolution that ensues
(edit) and here it goes again. It seems either I accept 2 identical images this morning or get none at all. New error message: The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /add_files/869386/.
Reason: Error reading from remote server

Ah, "Spot the 5 differences", I'm quite good at these, now, let me see;
In pic #1 it's a Nikon, in #2 it's a Cannon
In pic #1 it´s a McDonald´s cup by his feet, in #2 it´s Burger King ) I´m almost sure about that one.
;-)

I too get the "proxy server could not handle" far more frequently than I'd like (around 90% of the time), and sometimes have posts with no visible thumbnail, but I find that if I click on the moblog link in my favourites, then the post has posted, error message or no, and if i click on the comments link, that opens up the full size image, and the thumbnail is visible from then on. It is, however, all a big pain in the butt!

The proxy error issue should be fixed now - if you want to try uploading some photos. Use the "contact" form to let us know if you still have problems.

Ah. Should have scrolled down a bit sooner. Took me ages with the spot the difference!
