i logged on by accident last week and deviantart said they had a week of trial membership to tempt me to give them money.  now when that trial-membership is over I find it safe enough to log on again. the first thing I see in my message centre was "Mr Universe" Zort's journal with a link to the ultimate guide to making BW photos.  I know that many of you struggle with that, so I'll link you to it as well: http://www.deviantart.com/view/24555984/  I'll add my own two pennies to it and suggest that you all look at your digital camera and their bw-modes.  Regardless of what cranky assholes say, these give better results than hours in photoshop

Off we go, seeing Europe's western coast.  First Amsterdam though, but that is work.  Then we go to the west coast of Ireland and will be joined by Serena ( antarie (https://www.deviantart.com/antarie) ).  We will then do a triple visit at the guinness brewery before we go to Portugal's southwestern tip.  Then off for Lisboa and then Madrid and then back to rain, rain and rainy Bergen. I will bring a camera or two, maybe I will get a shot or two on my trip.  I am lucky in that I travel with two streetshooters.  Will as usual keep my blog updated when I get the chance.  I really enjoy the boblycat gang of streetshooters and they produce some very good and inspirational stuf

As you may have noticed, I don't really use dA much anymore.  There are several reasons for that, some of which has been iterated in the journals of other streetshooters you might know.  Maybe of most importance though is that I want to work a bit longer term with series, and dA doesn't provide the platform necessary for that currently.  It has been promised that series would come for almost two years now, and with the release of this v5 what we got was a slower site, and new bugs instead of the new features that the community had asked for. :| Of course, series may not be my thing, but I will work on it, fail frequently, and then work some
