Viruses Suck

あけましておめでとうございます!
Gelukkige Nuwe Jaar!
Happy New Year!!

Hi all

First post of the new year aaaaand I've got no pictures for you. :(

This is not because I haven't taken any pictures.

On the contrary, I went home to South Africa for 2 weeks and took tons of nice pics of cheetah, wild dogs and even a tiger.

However, thanks to the wonderful hunk of junk that is my mother's computer, my CF card contracted a virus.

My school's virus software then decided it was a good idea to delete the folders on my CF card without asking me.

So, all the nice pics from those two weeks are now gone.

How sad is that?

Luckily, I bought myself a Coolpix S51 for Christmas and went around snapping loads of pics with that, so it's not all my memories that are gone, just my photography-grade pics and all the pics of animals. I'm particularly sad about the tiger pics, as I didn't take any of him with the P&S and I've never had the opportunity to play with a baby tiger before.

Ah well. I suppose them's the breaks eh?

As soon as I've formatted my CF card, though, I'm gonna get right back into it. I've started a photography club here in Okinawa, so I'm hopefully going to be taking a lot more pics in future.

And enough with the sob stories. I hope you all had a fantastic holiday period. Hope your New Years Resolutions are worthy and keep-able. Mine (the wish to travel more) was dashed by the news today that I only have four days of leave left until July. Looks like I've been doing enough travelling. Har har. :P

OK, enough of my blabbering.
Have a great 2008 everyone!!
Rabu rabu! <3

こんにち は。あなた の 日本 の 写真 が 好き。

I wandered to your gallery about a year ago, and thought I'd visit again. I love your pictures of Japan. I love the way you capture the moment. I look forward to more.

Good luck on your test. がんばって!

あ、ありがとうございます。でも、まだ上手じゃない!たくさん練習しますよ!

Thanks for the visit. ^_^ I'm still practicing loads. I want to get a LOT better! :)

Thank you, I'm just sitting out the looooooong wait for the test result.

Nope, I've never heard of Go!Go!7188. I listen to mostly Okinawan music.

When in doubt, poke it with a stick!

Keep posting. i really like your photos. I want to go back to Japan someday and do nothing but take pictures. There was something new around every corner and a great photo opp. every time I turned my head. What I like best about your pictures is how you capture the moment. It's cool how you capture every day life and people's expressions. Great work!

Go!Go!7188 is a Japanese rock band. They're great. Should give them a try.
