I hadn’t planned to blog this month, because I am really busy, but I definitely wanted to post this.

You all know about the earthquake that hit Haiti on Tueday. I’m sure you have seen some of the horrific images on your TV Screens and across the internet, and the huge international relief effort that is now under way. We in the UK are among the richest people in the UK, so we should give what we can to help in the recovery. Even small amounts will help.

There are so many places to donate money, the DEC, Red Cross, Oxfam, Christian Aid. Whereever you donate to, be careful, as belive it or not there are some scammers seeking to cash in on the disaster, read more about that on the CNN website.

I want to suggest that if you want to donate some money, you could donate to Compassion International. Compassion already have staff and workers in Haiti. Compassion doesn’t receive and funding from government, so it relies on support from its sponsors and donors.

How your money could be used.

All funds raised in response to the Haiti earthquake will be used immediately to provide for Compassion-assisted children and families affected by this crisis. Any funds raised in excess will be stewarded by Compassion for additional and future disaster relief efforts.
You can provide immediate relief today.
• $35 helps provide a relief pack filled with enough food and water to sustain a family for one week.
• $70 gift helps care for their needs for two weeks.
• $105 helps provide relief packs filled with enough food and water to sustain two families for two weeks.
• $210 gift helps care for two families’ needs.
• $525 helps provide relief packs filled with enough food and water to sustain 10 families for two weeks.
• $1,050 gift helps care for 10 families’ needs.
• $1,500 helps rebuild a home.
• $2,100 helps supply 20 families with the basics for three weeks.

If you want to donate to help in the recovery please use the Haiti Earthquake page on the Compassion website.

I have been having problems recently with scheduled posts, apparently a problem with the latest version of wordpress. I have updated to the ‘fixed’ version, and want to test if it is working, so you can all ignore this post.

It was new years eve, approaching midnight, I got my camera ready. The room was quite dark so I asked someone to switch on the lights, but when the lights went on, the trip went. leaving us in a TV lit room at 30 seconds to the new year.

This mean of course that I didn’t get any photographs of midnight festivities. So my photographs were taken about half an hour into 2010.

Back in June I took my photography website offline while I built a new one. It has taken considerably longer than I had plan, and for no reason really other than I have been pretty busy and never got around to getting it back online.

I have finally put a new website up, and there are a few bugs to work out, and little changes to make, but at least it is a website. Oh and don’t use it in Internet Explorer, it won’t work (yet).
