Stuart's Photography

Digging through my Flickr account, I came across 38 photos that I’d uploaded in the past, but until now had never made visible to anyone. With the one exception of the houses on the Isle of Lewis, all the other photos are from 2004, back in the days of my 4 megapixel Canon IXUS 400 and my 6 megapixel Nikon D100 SLR. That kit is obsolete by modern standards, but I think the photos have stood up to the passage of time extremely well 🙂

Looking at these photos this morning, I feel mixed emotions. The photos are a lovely personal reminder to happy times – walking in two of my favourite places in Wales or Scotland, and the amazing php|cruise 2004 conference in the Caribbean. But right now, as I’m still recovering from last summer’s car crash, I’m not really able to go walking, and I’ve had to skip conferences this year. Perhaps I simply shouldn’t write blog posts at 1am 🙂
