I’m back from a holiday break and ready to go again. Each year I’ve been making a calendar for the next using my most recent photos. Usually I use this as a Christmas gift to friends and family, and I did again this year. However, I’ve also made it publicly available if anyone should be interested. The calendar is on Zazzle and includes pictures from Uruguay over the past year.

For the future, photos are being uploaded now and Carnival has started, so (other than processing tons of photos) there shouldn’t be any shortage of things to post.

This is the first time I’ve heard of this, but it sounded interesting so I figured I’d give it a try. Have a look around, enjoy the pictures and feel free to comment. At the bottom of each of my posts there’s a link to the Flickr gallery containing more pictures of that type.

I will be doing two giveaways. Both will be a photo print of any of my photographs. All of my photographs can be seen on Flickr. The first winner will get an 11×14 print, the second an 8×10 print. The prints will be professionally done by a commercial photo company. Please keep in mind that not all of my pictures are suitable for printing at these sizes, so not all of the photos will actually be available, but the majority will and I’ll do my best to ensure the one you like the most is the one you get.

To enter for the giveaway, you must comment on this post. Please ensure you include your e-mail address so that I can contact you if you win. The drawing will be held Feb 15th and the winners announced in an update to this post.

UPDATE:

First Winner: Lynda Taylor from Victoria, Australia (http://taylormadeinoztales.blogspot.com/)

Second Winner: Maggie Robinson from Canada (http://magpiescollectables.blogspot.com/)

First post, third blog…  I’ve done this before, but always let it die out either due to lack of time or lack of content.  This one will be different.  I’m not going to try and do this daily, or even weekly.  It will be a casual blog.  I’ll post here about picture sets and travels as they go.  I may ocassionaly digress to other topics or things I find interesting.  To start with, I’ll do some catch-up on past travels and then post as I travel and the pictures are processed.  Each post will only have a couple of pictures most likely, certainly not all of the pictures from a trip.  At the time of this writing, I have over 3,000 pictures on Flickr and I will continue adding to them there first.
