October 2004 news

Happy Halloween! posted 31 Oct 2004 by Dan Karran [permalink] As Halloween is now upon us I thought I'd take the opportunity to make my own little pumpkin (literally only about 15cm high) and take some photos of him around Camden. He wishes you all a Happy Halloween from the top of Primrose Hill, overlooking London. You can see more photos of him sitting in and around Camden in the Halloween feature gallery - but watch out for the trick or treaters!

Website launch - let's celebrate! posted 23 Oct 2004 by Dan Karran [permalink] Welcome to my new website! Over the past couple of months I have redesigned and redeveloped the entire site to give it a complete overhaul. It's taken a while but I think it's worth it. The site went live today at around 4pm and having fixed most of the little glitches it now appears to be working pretty well. There are a few parts of the site which I haven't yet finished - such as the ecards which I used to have in the photography section and the random stuff pages. Rest assured, they'll all go live soon. Sections such as the web design and development ones will grow over the coming weeks as I add more information to the portfolio and generally expand on what's already there. Please take the time to explore the site and let me know what you think by signing the guestbook if you get a chance. I hope you enjoy your visit...

About time for an update posted 22 Oct 2004 by Dan Karran [permalink] Well, it's getting close to a month since I last left an update on the website so here's the latest... University life is going well - even if we do have lots of lectures and on top of that we have reading and work to hand in. It's going to be a tough year but definately worth it... The lectures are all very interesting and many are well beyond the topics that I learned in my final year in Manchester, which of course means that they are challenging to me as well. In an attempt to keep me sane I'm trying to keep my social life in a sensible state and I've joined the UCL Photo Society so I can learn once again how to develop my own black and white photos - and to meet more people into photography as well. I've joined the committee and am helping get a website together for the society. I am so close to uploading my new website as well - the one I've been promising for about a year. It's taking me time partly because I'm trying to restructure it so it is much more logical and also because I'm doing so many other things at the same time. The site is going to look something like the screenshots below:
