You really should set up a Flickr (or Redbubble, which you can sell your work through --- I don't have a redbubble, though) and use them for your image hosting... but also to network.

Very cool images --- the light on the second is particularly cool.

Oeter, interesting... I've been planning on setting up a Flickr for publicity anyway but what's the benefit of hosting images with them as opposed to just chucking 'em on here? Sorry if that's a totally daft question!

No real benefit, pending what your server plan is. For example, SWAMP is run on a server with only so much storage space; another website I've done has unlimited storage space. So, pending on space and traffic... why waste space on your server with photos when you could better put it to use with images of your art works?

But, with Flickr, you can just go in and copy the link from Flickr, post it into your blog, and, as you'll see on my last blog (not gallery, but blog), you click the photo and it zips through to that page on your flickr.

Ahhh yep. Actually if I'm posting as regularly as I am, it might be a good idea to use flickr. Don't they have image size limits and nudity policies though?

...You know what, I should stop asking you this and look into it myself, lazy bugger!

Haha... yes and no.

If you have a pro account, you can upload as much as you want (I have a pro account), and, the awesome thing about pro, is the ability to 'replace' images --- rather than uploading new versions/edits and having to delete/lose your old comments.

But, if you don't have a pro account, you can still upload 100MB of photos per month. Any size, but it shows all images as "Medium", but you can link to larger versions in your description.

And, as for nudity --- I've not got to doing nudes, so I'm not 100% certain on it. BUT, I do have friends who've posted nudes before. I think you just need to 'flag' them as Adult, and that's about it. I'm not sure.

Wicked! Thanks a lot, Oeter! You rock my proverbial socks! I'll have to look into the nudity thing but otherwise sounds grand!

I hope you're okay! You got all the glass out before grabbing your camera to take these shots, right?
Very pretty, in a harsh danger-world sort of way.

Oooh! I like these. Broken glass does many of the same things with light as jewels, broken safety glass even looks like jewels, but jagged broken glass has it's own quality. Could arrange broken glass into a kind of neckless shape or play with it making all kinds of shapes or sweep it up and then pour it onto a stencil and see if it'll form the shape well when you take the stencil away.

No one has said this so I will. Congratulations! On the opening of your ehhibition...I need round-trip plane tickets & a hotel room to see it as I'm 10000 miles away!

Two things:

a) I took new photos tonight. One included glass shards! Partly inspired by you, part because I broke a glass the other day, and put it aside waiting for a chance. Haha.

b) This is a friend of mine. She seems to have no problems posting nudes, so I don't see you having any problems. http://www.flickr.com/photos/naomifrost/

Awesome, are the photos online?

And thanks!

They are, but they're hidden for a few days... haha. I'll tweet you when they go back online. The glass photos are, though.
