I agree with Serra - they look professional and all...

Here's a couple of my shots from the other night with Dave and the Burlesque party, Dave has the whole set too so I'll let him show the ones he set up (I just pressed the button).

I'll be brutally honest in saying that although it was a lot of fun to do, there was a lot about this shoot that went against the images I want to portray as 'my work' - if that makes sense. I guess I railed a bit against a few personalities that came out over the course of the night..... I certainly know that I'm not cut out for, or all that interested in this style (being the scantily clad women posing it up) which is strangely actually comforting to discover.

I will add that had I put some thought into (scouted even) this shoot prior to the day I would have liked to have come up something fun and fresh to express in images - unfortunately there were too many "stand and grin" (and borderline pr0n) shots for my personal taste.
What I'm saying is preparation is the key - if only I had put as much effort into the shoot as the guests did with their outfits...... they were killer, and made the show.

I like the map idea.

Makes sence. Now to find a map with reigons to hack

The idea I have is to break my new site into "areas" Ideas are comming along as I look at different sites. A lot of sites I find very cluttered. So Im wanting simple and not a lot of words cause we all know how godd my written enlish is :lol:

i made one years ago for a fuel supplier, basically you make a set of identical maps but each one with a different area highlighted, and you make one plain map with no areas highlighted. then you code hotspots onto the various parts you want ppl to click and use the relevant map as the rollover state. quite simple but works best for small filesize images

Sad to hear. :(

Well looks like a great time to dust of the road trip kit. Nice to see petrol prices dropping low.
