Simon Bisson takes some wonderful photos. Today his LJ has sea otters. This one is my favorite.

Montréal in Pictures
I now have a whole lot of images of Montréal online. You can find the video diary here, and below is a link to the photo album. Please note the profusion of restaurants. Foodies are going to love Montréal.

Neil & Amanda: With Added Artwork
Thanks to the generosity of Neil and Amanda, and the help of Amanda’s colleague, Beth, I have been able to add some artwork to my video diary of the Dublin reading. Now you can not only listen to Neil reading, and Amanda singing, but also view a variety of Amanda corpses. There is some very fine photography in the Who Killed Amanda Palmer book – much of it by Kyle Cassidy, who it turns out has a more direct connection to the SF community as his last LJ post saw him enthusing over getting to meet the likes of Ellen Datlow, Michael Swanwick and Greg Frost.
Anyway, the whole diary, now complete with dead Amandas, can be viewed here.
Neil & Amanda: The Photos
And from a party about Irish cheese to an event in Ireland. Here are a few photos that I took during the signing at Chapters. There are no photos of the actual readings, because I was busy holding the video camera at the time. That’s still waiting to be edited.
(And annoyingly the photos are not displaying in the correct sequence. Sigh.)

Cheese Photography
I have achieved something today! Linking my blog to Picasa is working again. So here are the photos from the Culture Magazine launch party (I am hungry already just looking at them).

Clever Photography
I’m do like a good photograph, and I have seen a couple this weekend that I’ve been very impressed with.
Firstly here is Zoran Zivkovic doing clever things with mirrors.
And a more straightforward shot, but impressive for the clarity and sharpness of action at speed, Will Plant with a fine rugby photo.
Photos from Steam Powered online
Lots of steampunky goodness for you all.

Update: Kevin’s photos are on Flickr.
Top Quality Work
I’m just processing my photos from Steam Powered, but I know that they will be nowhere near as good as the finalists for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
Cardiff Photos
OK, the Cardiff photos are now online. Having never watched Torchwood, I have no idea what’s recognizable and what isn’t, but I do know a rugby stadium when I see one. And I do have the promised TAFF photo.

N’awlins Memories
While the 49ers have been getting pulverized in Superdome, I have been cheering myself up by finally getting around to processing the photos from the trip that Kevin and I took to New Orleans last month. They are now uploaded to Picasa.

Masquerade Photos
Progress! I have my masquerade photos online. The video will hopefully be much better, though it covers fewer costumes and needs editing.

Pride Photos
My Pride photos (including a couple from the “let’s dress up Cheryl” session on Friday night) are now online.

The Magic of Photography
Jennifer Ouellette reports on the great female fantasy: a camera that can make you look slimmer. Sadly the urban myth that normal cameras make you look fatter than you are does not appear to be true. Meanwhile I shall continue my quest for a camera that automatically places a brown paper bag over my head when anyone takes a picture of me.
At the Seaside
It has been a rather nice few days here in England, and on Saturday I got to go to the seaside. On the north coast of Devon, the rivers Taw and Torridge flow together to form an estuary (see Google Maps) that forms a natural haven for shipping (albeit one with some very dangerous tides). Nestled hear the mouth of the estuary is the small town of Appledore, one of the few places in the UK where shipbuilding is still practiced, and the birthplace of some fabulous replica ships (you may have seen this one). I didn’t have a lot of time to go around taking photos, but what I have got are in my Picasa site and are linked to below.

ICFA Best Dressed Award
Emerald City readers will remember that when I go to posh, dressy events I have a habit of handing out a Best Dressed Award. Now that I have the ICFA photos available, you’ll be wanting to know who won. Well..

ICFA Photos
I have been looking at photo-handling plugins for WordPress and I have finally settled on Shashin, partly because it works with Picasa, my preferred photo hosting site, but mainly because it works. So, now it is installed, and here are some photos from ICFA.

New York Photos
I’m slowly working through my photos from the recent road trip. First online are the pictures from my first ever visit to New York. All but one of these come from the LGBT Halloween Parade, so they’ll be of interest to any costumers out there.
Once again huge thanks to La Gringa for putting me up and for taking me out to the parade. Thanks also to The Chocolate Bar for the wonderful spiced hot chocolate.
