My First Ever Award | June 22, 2004

Yesterday I noticed that I’d been given an award. The award in question was one of the prestigious WhiteSpace Awards. The category I won was the “Thought to be a web designer, but proving to be a photographer” category.

I’d just like to thank everybody who made this award possible.

Thanks to Winter for finally finishing, and Spring and Summer for providing such a great reason to be outside, and not stuck in front of my computer.
Thanks to Brighton for being such a cool and photogenic place to live.
I’d like to thank Message for keeping me busy the last few months.
A big thanks to SkillSwap and The Web Standards Awards for keeping my mornings and evenings occupied.
I’d also like to thank my girlfriend for monopolising my iMac the last few months and giving me the chance to watch more TV.
Thanks to the gym for keeping me fit and out of the house.
And to all the cool new blogs I’ve been reading and thanks to my RSS feed which now has well over 200 feeds in it.
Finally a big thanks to everybody who’s emailed me offering diplomas, viagra or large sums of money for minimal risk. Love you loads.

Seriously though, I’ve been meaning to mention this for a while. I’ve been quite busy of late and It’s just been much easier to post interesting pics than to find the time for more considered posts. Now that summer is here, I imagine I’ll be spending even more time away from the computer, so expect more pics to come.

I love those awards! The perfect cough indicator to the best and brightest of the web. Congrats dude, and I really look forward to seeing more of your pics. But remember to actually post them up! Seriously!

As a corollary, the Southern hemisphere blogging density increases, as the cold of Winter forces us to freeze our asses off inside.

Gah! You forgot to thank your agent! You are SO fired!

The agent can fire his client Jon? Congrats on the award Andy, those bath-object pictures inspired me to shower more often…;)

And also thanks to me for being an inspiration, your guru, mentor and fashion advisor. (dont forget to wear your sandals when you collect your gong).
