Genuine Photo (Grid view)

Just done a quick update to my Genuine Photo website. The full screen photos, some folk have said are a little cumbersome... So to make the whole process a lot simpler I've created a new section where all 100 photos are available to view as thumbnails. It's a typical gallery really, select a thumbnail, click on it, see a larger expanded version, click the larger version to go back to the thumbs. Easy.

Check out Genuine Photo (Grid view) website.

The full screen version of the site is still available at Genuine Photo.

Library of Congress

The always brilliant NOTCOT website directed me to this amazing collection of photographs on Flickr.

It's the National Library for the United States 'Prints & Photographs Division'. Based in Washington, DC. the library has more than 134 million items preserved on some 530 miles of bookshelves, the 'Prints & Photographs Division' itself takes care of 14 million pictures and features more than 1 million through online catalogs and now much to my utter enjoyment, Flickr.

The picture above was taken by Jack Delano in 1941, backstage" at the "girlie" show at the Vermont state fair, Rutland.

Deleted Images

A favourite website of mine is Deleted Images. I just love the idea of people sending in images that have not met their expectations or are 'faulty' in some way. Many of the images are quite brilliant and to have them all in one place which celebrates mistakes really appeals to me. Oh yeah that and one of mine is on there too! I nearly lost my head taking the picture, didn't notice the huge concrete block appearing fast.

Genuine Photo

Had an email from the Web Design Index people about including my photography site Genuine Photo in their next book.

It shows 100 photos taken all over the place with n rhyme nor reason really. Photos taken with a Ricoh GRD.

This one was taken near Stourhead at the bottom of King Alfred's tower.
