Archive ..

Oh, man .. I went to a wine-tasting event last night and all I can say is that yes, spitting it out every now and again might not be such a bad idea after all!
Fuzz, fuzz...

Still, a good excuse to drag another image from my archive, eh?

Good to be asked to shoot a Prom photo this evening and supply .. prints! My goodness, I'd almost given up on people buying prints from me ever again! Good to know that at least one person will have a 'real' archive of photographs in the future! I say that 'cos I was looking for one particular image this morning and I've opened the folder on the computer to find .. it's empty! Now ok, I know I have the shots backed up elsewhere, and I still have the original transparency, but what a shock that was to the system! Ironically, I've bought a USB turntable and am now in the process of digitizing as many of my old records as I can. Hey, records! I just realised what an appropriate name that is! Anyway, yes .. I'm making digital copies of my old records so that I have a back-up memory of my old vinyl. Mind you, another night like last night and I won't be in a position to remember anything ...

More on the subject of rock, and .. oh, let me put on my anorak before I begin! Guess what .. I've picked up an SL-D2 - minus counter-weight - for just £25! I know! How exciting! And the good thing is, I had the balance from my old one to fit onto it, so the one I've now got worked straight away. Does it get any better?

Sorry, let's start again! Actually, let's not! All I was going to say is that I bought a new 'old' record player off Ebay - for the bargain price of twenty-five quid - and now I can get stuck into all my vinyl again! (The picture today's an arty shot of said vinyl) One of the first records I played on my new turntable was Red Light, by Siouxsie and the Banshees. The rhythm is driven by the sound of a camera's motor-drive being fired, similar to Girls on Film by Duran Duran. I couldn't help wondering what those songs would sound like if they'd been made in the era of digital cameras! Girls on Chip? Click ....
