Bands to beaches
It's been a hectic week, and despite promising a post for fellow SWPP members from a recent Paddy Casey gig, I still haven't had time to process them.Galleries (skip this if you've no interest in my coding!)I'm in the process of beta test on LRB Portfolio for what may become version 2.0. On top of that, I've been using a coding structure that allows me to mix Lua and XSLT to create a Flash gallery that will work on both the Mac and PC platform, rather than just Mac.Basically, I noticed that SlideShowPro was doing this mix successfully and mentioned it to Matthew Campagna. Matthew then created a new version of his TTG Simpleviewer Gallery using this coding technique. And I, er.., followed suit. It became painfully obvious that when creating a Flash gallery that Lightroom only previews the SWF file and ignores any HTML that is embedding it. In Matthew's case, that's not a problem, because Simpleviewer will fill the space, as will SlideShowPro. Mine on the other hand is designed to be embedded in HTML.As if that wasn't enough, I've also been working on a replacement HMTL gallery for Lightroom using Square thumbnails (cropped in CSS). I've a version that use a script to show the file floating over the grid ala Shadowbox/Lightbox, and one using strict HTML. Whether or not they see the light of day is another matter!ShootsAs mentioned I've a bunch of live stuff to process and so I should really do that and add them here!

I'm not one for Charity shooting, because people that work in a Charity organisation generally get paid. Of course there are volunteers that work for free, but I'm talking about core staff. The ads on TV for a charity organisation are paid for, so why shouldn't I? That said I do give my time to projects where I choose to volunteer. So on Tuesday night I was standing up on a ladder for some promo shots for an upcoming charity concert/album, organised by local musician Don Phelan.
4 bands in one room?
With tight time and not a whole lot of interest in the venue, I got this quick shot for them. It's not an award winner by any stretch, but will serve the purpose of letting people know who's involved! The four bands here, from front to back are: Mugger Dave, Voodoo Fire, The Kanyu Tree and Without George.This week also saw some work with a visiting English model for some personal work, which I may feature at a later date. Phew. Said I was busy!
