It’s a simple idea that I got from a band I’m going to see play shortly, you can see The Duke Spirit‘s alphabet, if the server is up. Sometimes it’s nice to have something that focuses your thinking on important things it’s an interesting method of reflection. You are of course welcome to try it for yourself. Oh and yes the photo is one of mine, so yes it was in a way just to show it off ‘cos I was chuffed with it!

RED BARON'S WORDS 
the server must be down, i can’t open the link. anyhow, i am curious about this alphabet thinge so i might try again when the server is up.
i have two things to say. one, i like the “self-publicity” photo you posted here and i am not saying this because you are dear to me (or any self-imposing reason), but mainly because i find the composition (really) interesting. particularly how that long streak of light was captured (could be a fast moving automobile or something?) and with those factory-looking-smoking-dark-fumes at the background. second, this is indeed a good image for a cover album. i would buy it. 😉
It’s a great photo. The light makes it.
“the photo is a shameless piece of self-publicity…”
and we’ve been looking at it for over a month now. when do you plan to update? otherwise, i have to look at that “shameless piece of self-publicity” over again.
wake-up, wake-up!!!
i am munching some fresh, red tomatow! want some??? 😀
