This site has been on the go over 8 years now, and I'd like to thank all the people who have mailed me with comments over that period, I've been pleased to receive them all, I do try to respond to all notes within a few days.
I've recently made the decision, for various reasons, not to continue to host all of these pages directly. I've made the links point to a web archive site for many of the pages. This should appear fairly seamless in use. This allows me to take down a lot of the pages at Freeserve and claw back some webspace for other projects. You may notice in use that some of the pages have occasional missing images, and some of my nice backgrounds seem to have disappeared. Whatever - the choice was between radically cutting back the site, or using this approach.
With that I'll leave you to browse
Welcome to my pages - loosely devoted to the pursuit of kite aerial photography. Every box in the table below is a link to a page describing some aspect of the pursuit, a particular aerial photography shoot, or simply me expounding on some more (or less) philosophical theme associated with KAP.
25 March 2001 - finally updated and radically simplified my links page.
10th July 2001 - Hard to believe its so long since I posted. Added a new page on risk taking and KAP.
18 July 2001 - I'm going whale hunting on Sunday, read here why.
22 July 2001 - And read
here what happened.
11 August 2001 - The Moscow state Circus came to town, I paid a couple of visits.
16 September 2001 - A short page on a visit to a local aquarium.
23 September 2001 - A page describing a gorgeous 2.4 GHz video camera/transmitter just made for KAP.
5 January 2002 - A trip out in the snow to get some shots of a stone circle.
21 April 2002 - Lost my account at fsnet (that'll teach me not to update the website for a long while) so the newer pages on the site went down. I've set up a new account but the address of those newer pages is harb87 instead of harb86. Hopefully for most visitors this will be seamless, but if you did bookmark any of the newer pages you would have to update the link.
That's the techie stuff out the way, I have quite a few new pages nearing completion so keep an eye out over coming days.
