New Photos

I finally added some new photos to my website.

They're in the form of a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation. I hope you enjoy them.

My Mother

I won't tell you how old my mother is, but I'm nearly fifty.

Last year, she helped me buy a new desktop by buying my old one for basic research. Not content to just use it occasionally, she went to classes to learn how to use Word and Excel. Next year, she's going for a course on the internet and CLAIT.

On Sunday, I connected her up to the internet for the first time. She loves it. It's a whole new world! And, despite her health problems, unlike many of her friends of the same age, she's really enjoying the learning experience, even if the lessons do come from her sixteen-year-old grandson!!!

Now, I'm not very good at the slushy stuff; I can't always say what I feel. But I think she should know how proud I am of her, learning all these new things at her age. I know she's not the only one of her age group and she's certainly not the oldest person ever to take a course. But I'm still proud of her achievements.

So, I've created a new Haiku especially for her. It's on my Haiku page, but I've also put it here.

My Mother

They live, learn, and age,
Old friends sadly vegetate.
You age, learn, and live.

My New Website

My new book-keeping website has gone live.

You are welcome to come and visit. And, if you're interested, I can help you with your accounts.

Busy Busy Busy

This month, I go live with my business on Yell.com.

Then, next month, when the new Yellow Pages comes out, I get my own listings.

So, if you want reasonably-priced book-keeping and accounts, give me a call. I'm always willing to look at your books for you.

Alternatively, you can email me.

Book-keeping

I've started working for myself as a book-keeper. I currently have spare capacity and would welcome enquiries from potential clients.

If you are interested, please feel free to ask.

I work in the Porthcawl area of Glamorgan, Wales. However, I would be prepared to travel a reasonable distance if required.

I look forward to working with you.

Cameras Don't Take Photos

I said I was going to post some articles to this site and here's the first one I wrote and had published on ePHOTOzine.

It's an article for young and beginning photographers called Cameras Don't Take Photos. i hope you enjoy it.

A Shell

This is my favourite shell photo. I actually took this photo with my scanner and manipulated it in Adobe's Photodeluxe Home Edition. If I remember correctly, the reflection was originally the shadow.

You can see some of my other photos here. There aren't many, yet, as I've only just got the dynamics working!
