Thanks to whoever nominated digicam.coza for best photographic blog - I requested for it to be substituted. As it happens I've recently spent some time moving some of those albums over to Flickr, with the intention of retiring the site (despite what I said last year). It hasn't been updated since 2004, it's hogging too much server space and bandwidth, and quite honestly there's some stuff up there I'd prefer to just not have online anymore (no, nothing like that!).

So if you ever contributed to the Users album, please know that I'll leave the site up for another week or two, after which I'll redirect it to my Flickr page. Apologies to all the MySpace/LiveJournal/Friendster/Xanga people using my photos for backgrounds.. deal with it.

I attended the 2nd Cape Town Flickr Meetup on Sunday in Kalk Bay, great fun - check out some of the pics from the day in the group pool.

Lastly, two quick music recommendations if you enjoy easy-listening, soft indie rock: England's The Feeling (check out Sewn for a taste, thanks lee-ly!), and Cape Town's own Palms Up - who I caught again at the Armchair last Tuesday. The nicest, most down to earth band around. They're regulars at Cape to Cuba on Sundays, check them out and support SA music!
