Earlier on this week things had calmed down enough (we are in the process of selling our current flat and moving to a small town outside of Edinburgh) for me to take some random photos using my macro lens and off-camera flash.

Only four pictures spoke out enough to me to placed on Flickr, in fact all of them were of two objects very close to my heart (the full set can be found here).

The first picture is of the purple leather buttonhole that my wife (MrsPurpleduck) got me for our wedding.

The second picture is of the inside plate of The Hobbit printed by The Folio society, who produce extremely well bound and printed copies of books. This was a first anniversary present from my wife.

After what seem like an age (well a month and abit), I’ve finally taken some new pictures. So there’s a chance that some will be uploaded in the coming days. However I’m currently (impatiently) waiting for my Aperture 2.0 upgrade to arrive before doing the first rating pass.

In other photography news on Monday my firewire CF card reader arrived and I must say it’s a lot quicker than my old USB mutli-function reader. It may very well speed my work flow (like others), however I’m more concerned with making use of the USB port it freed up for my iPod.

Lasy Web Question: Has anyone found a USB hub that reliably  works with Mac OS ? I Belkin one I have/had any device attached to it kept disappearing.
