Actually, my 'gallery' is somewhere to "park" my upwards of 6Gbs of photos !!!! it's 'heart' not ART... I enjoy my life SOOOOOOOOO much that I just can't stop taking photos of everything and everyone.. my old passport photo had a beard, but when I renewed my passport ( I ran out of blank pages !!) I shaved the beard off, so many photos will be bearded, and many 'clean' shaven... I share these photos with everyone, but my families and many friends visit the site to check-up on my antics, and to download whatever they fancy, saves me having to email 100s of attachments... hope you don't mind me telling you this ??? I just edited, 'cause I thought you might wonder at my choice of music ?? I played steel guitar and lead guitar for many years in some very good country music bands... so some of the music is mine, and a couple of a friend !!! Listen to my rendition of "Wildwood Flower" played on a pedal steel.... and eat your heart out ????

I quite enjoyed my visit to your site, music not my cup of tea but you can never please everyone. I was going to ask if you enjoyed your visit to Scotland but you came here twice so I guess that answers the question

I will pop back for a good look through all your images at some point.

Well, being born and raised in Dundee, yeah, I enjoyed my frequent 'home' visits... I'm a Robertson, and proud of it !!!

I enjoyed viewing pictures from China, although I wasnt able to view all of them of course ... I dont know if you are aware, but some of your pictures are a web-friendly 800x600, while others have not been resized from the camera ... like this one:

Take a long time to load into the gallery!

Takes me about 0.5 seconds to load !!! ( maybe my Chrome cache is as excellent as they predict ??) When I dump the cache, loading the full pic takes maybe 3 seconds

Ha ha, small world eh? I live not far from there. I have worked in your home town a few times as well (docks). No matter where I go I always meet someone from Dundee, was working offshore in Egypt and guess who I met? yup, a guy from Dundee.

So you anything to do with the Jam mafia then?

Nah, just a poor, penniless, retired computer engineer... I waste my time here teaching a select few friends a bit of English, and very much computer repair and building, and those who show some aptitude for it, website and graphics design

Forgot.... yeah, since I recovered from a nightmare virus, my photos are at full resolution... I had to download from 2004 - 2008.5 because I lost that much, and the downloads were at the resolution set by the programme that uploaded them... from2008.5 onwards, they are at the full res, mainly because the "customers" want to print out good quality prints... they know it takes a while to load them, and to get them down, but are willing to accept that.... I don't 'protect' or watermark anything, so anyone is free to copy anything, after all, it's only a diary of my life, so it's hardly copyright... I am constantly uploading pictures of China, feel free to take what you fancy.. I didn't take ALL the photies, but I thank the people who gave (give) me access to them...
