Alison Jackson and her ‘paparazzi images’. I particularly like the ‘Prince Harry’ ones.

So what am I doing? Watching odd Japanese cartoons. They are pretty cool though…

‘The Apple Incident’

‘The Diary of Tortov Roddle’ – The Melancholy Rain

Granted,they are a bit heavy on atmosphere and what plot there is in the cartoon’s I’ve seen so far are limited,but still,if you like these there are plenty on youtube…

Venture Brothers
And I really like this photo I took on the N25 Bridge in Waterford City

Also, can anyone tell me how I could scale down those two photos so I could put them as thumbnails on the site rather than as either massive pictures on the main page or just titles? Thanks.
