Am starting with the Cambo gigs first as they are really keen to get these photos off of me. I will probably start uploading some of the other venues shortly....ie. some time in the next week as the archive is too huge. Photos are always a hard thing to have display EXACTLY how you want, at least that's been my experience in the past. The other problem is you really need to database them well other wise it's impossible to find anything, that's kind of why I'm combo-ing them up with my flickr account. I get the community advantage of flickr, as well as the massive scale db, and then I can easily host linked images here without killing my bandwidth each month. Win win.

Heh, lots at the Cambridge hotel. That the best place for local gigs? I can't decide what to do with my photos. Flickr has a good community thing going on, but I quite like how I've designed my photoblog, but I also wouldn't mind having it all under WordPress... guess I'll try to figure it out when I'm on holidays!
