juggs sent me some fab album covers. my fave? JOYCE!!!! love the fab homo erotic pieces, and the quasi-innocence of Joyce and The Church Group....

sorry to those of you who have been having troubles finding my site lately.... my lovely and very reliable server hosts, earth first in new zealand, have been the target of a series of vicious hack attacks. well actually, one of the sites they host is the target, but of course, the server is the host and so.... been very frustrating for me, coz not only have i been unable to access my blog (which is web based) but also unable to work on my new look galleries (which are also web based). most of the pics are uploaded but the captions are yet to be finished... i will try very hard to have them finished this weekend, i promise.

on top of the site problems, my internet provider here, yahoo BB, has been particularly troublesome this week. intermittent connection - something which happens for about 10 days every 6 weeks or so. maybe they are still setting up their lines and not upgrading their service quickly enough? who knows. but it really pisses me off. i sent an irate email to them last time and they made a series of excuses including "it's probably your fault", but it stopped happening the next day.... untill this week.

this afternoon i'm heading into shinjuku to participate in this months photo expedition with the "japan photographers" group. bit nervous, many of them are professionals. but it'll be great to meet a bunch of like minded folk who are passionate about photography. i feel like such a novice when i read their emails. massive learning curve!
