July (so far) has just been so busy with Venice at the beginning of the month and regular gigs from Little Fish since. The only thing that has stopped me running out of hard discs has been the number of conflicting gigs (on July 13th there were 6 gigs I had to choose between). If all these had been spread into otherwise free days.....

The point of this post is that because I am  so bad at selecting the best pictures (or you could read this as generosity in sharing so many pictures with you), most of you will not have time to look at all the pictures and may find the rows of thumbnails daunting. Suddenly I have a few free evenings, inexplicitly none of the bands I follow are playing this week. So I thought I'd experiment with Lightroom and see what could be produced.

I have therefore created a Best of July slideshow page. Here you can sit back and enjoy a flavour of my month. As it is a slideshow you can eat your lunch, or speak on the phone as you watch. I'm not sure whether all the pics are strictly 'the best'. I've tried to include something from everywhere and make it reasonably varied, but not get too bogged down in selection difficulties (or captioning difficulties). So have a look and let me know if you like it.

SLIDESHOW 

Unfortunately the slideshow stuff seems to take a lot of space, and as it's flash, has some other disadvantages over my normal display. So I don't think slideshows are a serious option for my huge picture galleries
