Mr Altruistic

It’s a shitload of Eiffel. 13 Shots of/from the Parisian Meccano Structure for show and tell. If you don’t like tall bits of fashioned metal, or what you can see from them, then this lot of photos isn’t for you. Take a wide berth.

If, however, you are a Meccano Aficionado like myself then unbluckle the pants and get ready for a dakcreaming joyride! For the first time, I have taken 2 of the raw shots and altered them for a more artistic appearance. All the other photos are 100% raw, except for the copyright which is added post-shooting. But wait, don’t zip-up just yet, because I’ve also knocked over the other sites of Paris and they are going up soonskies. Oh yeah, a mate pointed out that I had put 21th instead of 21st for the post below. Given that he washes his clothes in a bidet (see ROME photos), Im not so sure I should change it. I’d hate to have to agree I’ve made a mistake dating the post the 21th of Oct, and then find out I’ve also been wrongly washing my clothes in a washing machine all these years…

I’ve sifted through the first batch of Roman photos, some good, some garbage, nothing really great. The second batch of these are some of the better pics I have taken (or is that Florence???), lots more architecture and scenery. Anyways enjoy these ones for now there’s tonnes more to come, I’ll continue to plug along one section at a time until they are all up, then expand on them all as I come across a few other little gems. I’ve put a few people in this lot as the first photos i took of people turned out shocking, whilst I was getting used to the camera at night. So why did i crank out this update so quickly? I’m waiting for my brother to return from the bottle-o with my $6.50 4-pack of 440ml Longhorn bourbon & cola pre-mixed cans, and since I haven’t had my fix I’m a little edgy so this has helped pass the time hehehe.

Back from 6 weeks of debauchery, and I have a nasty dose of jet-lag. I can still feel the plane banking left when I lie down. So what did I get up to? Well theres 1300 shots of the tour that I will go through slowly, starting with Amsterdam (yes it got ugly early hehehe) Use the photography menu at left, or at the menu on the right below Chillum. I’ll attempt to piece together my thoughts and write small sections here and there about what I actually did. Remembering after 40 days of drinking can be hard but we’ll see if a few days of detox helps out.

I fly out tomorrow for my whirlwind trip around the world (well Europe, UK and USA anyways). Those on my email lists will get updated on the trips progress as I travel. This site won’t get updated while I’m away. If I stop in at a net cafe it’ll be to fire off a few emails not sit in there and be a nerdbox and bang up version 1.3 (which incidentally is 90% done, with a lot more new content). On the major news front the irrepressible shintara is back and looking killer as always. Take care all, there are a few of you who I will miss greatly while I’m gone (you know who you are), and remember Maintain the rage!
