Old Norwich Hospital walking tour, December 2005


In December 2005 I participated in a walking tour of the old Norwich Hospital site in Preston. This property is slated to be the new home of Utopia Studios. Click the link above for a small photo album from this tour.

New Blog for Links and Photos applications started 4 September 2006


Today (September 4th, 2006) we've started this new blog as our medium of choice to share photos from family events, and links to our not-for-profit websites, web logs and calendars. Unlike the website, after today most everything will be chronologically based and it should be easier to navigate. (We reserve the right to add in the odd photo album as seems appropriate). It also allows me the space for the odd rant :). The link above goes to the old website, which has more family photo albums and snapshots on it then this blog at this time.

Note: The photo over this post was taken in Cantho, RVN in 1965. At the time I was 21 years old and there have been a few tide changes since then for sure!
The camera I'm carrying in the photo is a Canon 7 Rangefinder, with a 50 mm 1:12 lens. We still have it, but I'm not sure how good any new photos taken with it would be without some serious practice! Digital photography has made life a lot simpler, for sure.
