things are moving well now that i have finished my travels … i have bought a macbook pro and i have photoshop cs5 installed. i am searching for a job (temporary work in korea for a few months and a full time job starting next year) and will soon return to korea.

i have also begun redesigning davidsmeaton.com … as well as the new info bar at the bottom, and a few small cosmetic differences, i have made the site wider (1000 pixels) to show bigger photos. old travel photos will still be smaller because i have already edited them, but new photos will be much bigger – in an attempt to show off my photography to maximum effect.

the only things left to do are make a brief stop in thailand on my way home (possibly, not confirmed), and buy a hasselblad medium format camera when i return to korea.
