Today’s Photohunt theme is “patch”.
I took these walking around Sevilla this evening…

Was a time when we would sift through our old photos and select our favourites to save in pretty photo albums, or at least we would store them away properly to keep for posterity. In fact, a few years ago I had a go at doing this very thing with a couple of scary boxes stuffed full of old pics, some that I’d even brought over from Canada, and many from the UK. Well, they are still in those boxes. The job has so far proved to be too mind-numbingly tedious to dedicate a full day of my life to.
Then along came digital cameras and suddenly I not only had a few hundred old photos in a box to sort out, but also several thousand scattered throughout various files in my laptop. And well, today was the day. I sat myself down and did the first clean-up, which took about four hours. And I have to say I have a real sense of accomplishment, though some of the sub-files will need further editing. But at least now I know where everything is! What a great feeling.

Today’s Photohunt theme is “backwards”.
This is one of the doors at the newly restored Encarnación Market that clearly states you cannot smoke, take dogs, or ride bicycles inside the market. EXCEPT they got it backwards and put the stickers on the inside of the doors…
where to go?

Since I started using Twitter I’ve been uploading photos to my various accounts using Twitpic. I’ve often thought about using another service because I didn’t like that you couldn’t search for pics or archive them properly, but as all my pics were already in one place and there was no easy way of moving them I decided to stay put.
Then Twitpic changed its terms of use, basically giving them rights over everyone’s uploaded photos. So when I heard about the Twitpic Export tool created by Steven Bullen, this seemed to be the answer. I’ve exported all of my photos from the Sevilla Tapas Twitpic (or at least I think I have) but now I have to decide where to import them. The three main contenders are WordPress, Tumblr and Posterous. I really like what fellow foodie Rosana has done with her Tumblr photo blog (I especially like the archive pages) and would like to have something similar for Sevilla Tapas, for the pics I upload to Twitter. But I wonder if there is a similar photo-friendly WP theme that would do the same thing, as I much prefer working with WordPress.
Any suggestions?
near

Today’s Photohunt theme is “near”.
And so okay, am showing off my new iPhone app that allows me to take 360º pics … this one is from the top of the Metropol Parasol that opened in Sevilla in the spring (click on it to see a bigger & better view), which is very near where I live. And one of the things I love about it being so near is that it has a terrific market and a couple of great tapas bars, just a stone’s throw from my house. In fact, it’s so near that I can see it from my rooftop terrace.
But that means they can also see me!
