I am currently in, or travelling to, The Kingdom of Norway (north Europe, next to Sweden, full of fjords).
Updates will come at odd hours, and as of yet I have no idea of what I'll be doing in Norway, except taking photos of fjords. They don't do much in Norway.
For more info use the 'Norway' tag, and go grab a sexy, hot-off-the-press Fjord Photo!

Nothing new, just website stuff

No new content today, sorry!

But what I have done is overhaul the whole photo side of the site. I’ve removed the ability to buy photos from my site — all sales will now go through Etsy — and I’ve linked my site properly into Flickr which means I now have a proper photo stream that you can watch, comment on or even subscribe to. If you’re one of the few that have bought my prints (thank you), leave a testimonial too!

The galleries now feed directly from my Flickr sets, so they’ll be updated instantly. You can click through to specific photos and comment on them (or favourite them, if you really love me).

I hate blogging without anything interesting to say, or pretty photos to share, but you’ll just have to bear with me. Monday might possibly be another ‘Special’; like the Pirate Special, only better.

Have a lovely weekend. Oh, and if anyone’s really good at growing tomatoes and knows why the lower leaves on my tomato plants are kind of yellowy/brown/burnt, do let me know. I have ONE tomato so far. One small, green sphere — the unripe fruit of all my labours.

Ahhh! I almost forgot: Dollhouse will be renewed for another season, so Dushku Day will return… next year. I almost posted some photos of that cutie from Prison Break today (which finally finished its run — thank God), but figured it might alienate all of those people that come here on Saturday just for photos of cute brunettes in revealing outfits.

Shrek & Sebastian

I’m not sure how to preface this one, so I’ll just lead with the goodies.

Seb, at the Big Cheese festival in Wales... with Shrek ears.

(Five years ago, 2004, in Wales at a festival called ‘The Big Cheese’…)

Those ears have a great story attached to them, which I will tell you one day, but not quite yet as it involves a very young boy that I made cry.  I have to work out a way to tell the story without making me look like a bastard.

OK, next, guess who this is:

Seb... again with the Shrek ears.

(Last week, 2009, on stage…)

Recognise the ears?

Anyway

In more important news (what isn’t more important than me dressing up in some kind of silken sarong and parading infront of an audience of hundreds?) I’ve done a little bit of springcleaning about the place. I finally got around to overhauling my ‘portal’ site: http://mrseb.co.uk. The old version was actually made just after the first photo in 2004 so I figured it was about time I updated it. It now has links to all things Seb, my blog, my Flickr stream, my shop on Etsy and, perhaps of more interest, a writing and photography portfolio.

The photography portfolio looks great, and if you want to show it to friends and family, please do so! Or if you know a magazine/newspaper editor… show them.

My writing portfolio is a little more nebulous as my writing style is still so new, so mutable. I’m improving and changing every day so I need to move bits in and out of the portfolio to keep it contemporary — but again, you might find it (and my experience) of interest. Also, if there’s something I’ve written (either on here, or if you’ve read other stuff by me) that you think ought to be in the portfolio, tell me!

Oh, and I forgot the most important bit! You can now be my  fan on Facebook. You probably won’t appreciate how hilariously uncomfortable this makes me, actually asking for fans. Unless you’re British, in which case you might understand. It pains me to the very core to ask you to be my fan. But as they say, you have to ask or you don’t get. So be my fan.

I’m going to go and blush in the corner now! I have Americans again this weekend. I’ll see you all on Monday, hopefully with most of my sanity in tact and a row of shrunken heads as trophies.

Commercial Break: Black Friday Sale!!!1

You won’t see this often, and I feel a bit like a gimp for doing it because this place is about as noncommercial as things get BUT… well… a man has to buy Christmas presents for his family, right?

There’s a Black Friday sale on my photographs today, until 11:59pm Pacific time — so if you’re in the US, you have until midnight. If you’re in Europe or the east, you have until about midday Saturday!

The deal is: $10 off if you spend $40 or more. Most prints are $40, but some are less — so you’ll either have to buy 1 or 2 photos to ‘enable’ the discount. The discount will be applied after the order, because Etsy is a bit silly like that — I have to refund $10 to your PayPal account/credit card after you’ve paid.

It’s a significant saving! Buy now! (Have I flogged this enough yet?)

There will also likely be another special offer before Christmas, I just don’t know what it will be yet.

Anyway, now you get a block of pretty photos to entice you into buying one of them. See you on Monday…! We have a special ‘52 Weeks‘ planned and I’m quite excited. Now, I need to go and find my eye-makeup…
