Sunday, August 5. 2007Retrospective: Last year's road-tripAs Scott has reminded me, a year ago today the two of us were wrapping up our 8000km lightning fast road-trip, mostly through Western/Southern Europe. Back then I didn't keep any sort of journal, and I still didn't believe in taking photos using my then brand-new E70 since camera-phones usually take photos of miserable quality. Scott took on the role as the photographer putting some of them up on Smile In Europe. I left this up to him since he brought a suitcase that included his fancy Nikon D70, and about a million accessories to handle any photographic circumstance! The closest thing to blog entries I have left from the trip are daily SMSs that were sent out to a number of people at the end of each day. I've decided to retrospectively post these messages with some explanations here, before I forget them. If you have Google Earth installed, you can have a look at the destinations per day by downloading the roadtrip as a KMZ file. You can read the brief posts by following these links:
On a side note, while Scott was here I started mucking around with his camera and took these arty-farty photos from my bedroom window that epitomise the photographic style I used when I was studying photography at school. This is something I can't do these days because my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P52 and my Nokia E70 aren't exactly the right tools for the job! I had nowhere else to put these photos, so here they are.
