I'm taking a trip to Berlin between June 24th and July 1st.

A short break away to Europe, some photography, art, food, wine and fun !

According to Dopplr the above is the automated message using its Share a trip feature, I really don't know what is going on with Dopplr, since Nokia bought the service, the half yearly reports seem to have stopped working !!

I think it should offer you a list of you're existing friends on dopplr as a choice, and not expect you to remember email addresses.

I'm intending on experimenting with Stereo / Digital and HDR photography whilst over there. The last time I was in Berlin, the wall was still up, this is going to be an interesting trip.

There is no excuse now, get planting .. I'm so excited about this, I'm going to try and get a few plants of the varieties mentioned in this talk to see if I can clean up the air at home / office.

We live in such an oxygen deprived society, anything we can do / grow / encourage a healthier lifestyle should be attempted.

A good excuse to use more of the compost we have

Camera Obscura - 3D Greyscale Anaglyph

It's Wedding Season, the busiest social time of the year it seems. I'm hoping that the weather holds and maintains some sense of rhythm, but I continue to hope.

It is also 'Festival' Season, and if you didn't among the many popular festivals landmarked in peoples diaries, such as Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, Download, Womad etc .. there is a new one thats recently popped up on the scene ... 'Latitude' Festival.

I'm writing this up in the Press Tent, and its one of those experiences that i'm grateful for being given.

My key priorities for this weekend is to help get some shots together for Film & Festivals Magazine, but I also have the opportunity to try out my Stereo Data Maker Rig (Digital 3D Still camera) setup in a very LIVE context. I'm learning a lot.

There are some things that have worked, quite a few problems, but I'm adapting as much as possible and its a lovely festival thats very accessible to all, multi coloured sheep included.

I've not got long now to get my camera set up again and shuffle over to the main stage to grab some pictures of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. But I wanted to start this posting and intend to continue.

Festivals seem to also bring a luxury boutique element that is very different from my days of camping, comfy tents, showers and cash machines !

I'm quite exhausted, but mentally invigorated.

I'd like to come back.

I recently got married and organised the wedding with my now wife, we wanted it to be as eco and green, so we decided on using as many Ethical Junction companies as we could for the the big day, there is a little write up about it on Ethical Pulse - the EJ members' blog

Unfortunately the Eco Bass Guitar wasn't ready in time, Simon Lee suffered to a biking accident that caused a smashed finger, putting him out of commission for a few weeks, however he is mending and the components are coming together, the Delano pickups have arrived.

Simon was able to join us at our Reception and got to see the band play live !
