frugi – great web design…
. .and development based in Leeds. I recommend frugi.co.uk for Leeds based web-design, development and change-management specialists.
They were fast, friendly and efficient service. Through meeting in person and exchanging frequent detailed email we formed a great synergy for this project. Frugi were able to develop and transform a mundane WordPress blog into the wonderful, pleasing website you find yourself visiting today.
Taken from their website, their services include:
- XHTML (structure) and CSS (style) that conforms to WCAG accessibility guidelines
- Graphic design principles expressed in Photoshop and/or Fireworks
- Server-side scripting (PHP) with sound knowledge of the object-oriented approach
- Structured query language (SQL) and relational database design
- Secure, efficient and modular code
- Copywriting
- Javascript and AJAX (including Prototype, JQuery, MooTools, script.aculo.us etc. )
- Facebook/Maps/Search Engines/Flickr API applications and mashups
- XML / Xpath
They get a huge thumbs up from us.

new gallery / store
I have just setup a Photobox ‘ProGallery’ store for the displaying & purchasing of photos.
If you happen to use it, please leave feeback by email or leave a comment below this post as I’m keen to learn if is easy or hard to use. I personally found the Photobox site quite slow to use, but that may have been because I was accessing it at a peak time.

Chickenhawk – Live At Leeds
Quality multi-faceted riff-based noise-monsters Chickenhawk took to centre stage, in the middle of the room, at around 8:30 last night as part of the ‘Live At Leeds‘ event, at The Library Pub in Leeds.
Very loud, and interesting / entertaining. These soothing minstrels produce a big sound, even with their unorthodox ‘drag all the gear into the middle of the room and play as loud as we can’ approach to playing live.

Unfortunately, being in the middle of the room meant there was very little ambient light hitting the band so I had to rely solely on the flash , and frequently using it in ‘2nd curtain sync‘ mode to achieve the warmer feel, with the streaks of light while also freezing the action.
For me, this technique is a bit hit and miss – but occasionally I get decent enough results.

These ‘contrasty’ colourful shots also make pretty good black and white conversions with the noise from the ISO adding to the effect, I think.
