Updated Portfolio

I've updated my portfolio.


Instead of about five different styles, I only now have two. I realised from looking at others' portfolios, that the ones that stick in your mind are the ones where there is a clear overall style. Mine was just a mishmash, and therefore completely unmemorable. Not helped by the fact that the AoI portfolios display your pictures in a random order >:-(

Of course, I need to get a proper website of my own. Then I can have multiple portfolios, and show a variety of styles in a clear way. That's my next task, once my current projects are finished.

Terms & Conditions

"you agree that Monotype Imaging’s liability for such physical injury or death shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S. $100,000)"                   
This is from the terms and conditions of font software. I never knew typefaces could be so dangerous :-o

Oh, and Happy New Year!

I missed my train

Which I was rather miffed about, as, according to my watch, I had a minute to spare.
So I had to take the bus.
Just at the bus-stop when I reached town, there was a little independent Scottish bookshop, which I'd never been into.
And, in it, I go my last two Christmas presents, which I was stumped on.
So it's a good thing I missed my train after all!

Sunset light

I like the hills.

Idiot that I am, I accidentally saved this over another one which I hadn't posted yet :-(

Autumn sun light

9.50am, Nov 5, looking North towards Glasgow
Frost on some roofs!

It's fascinating - the second roof from the front looks reddish brown here. In the previous one it looks bluish grey.

I hope our neighbour never decides to replace his garage roof (front roof) This one has lots of character!

Dreich autumn light

Decided to do another of these (as always, this is just meant to be a light study, not a good picture).
I've got another photo with beautiful autumn sunshine, but this one was quicker!

 I do like autumn colours.
