      true — well I go here ( http://75.co.za ) for inspiration —

      :)

      Giggles aside; I find most 'community' photography sites with a keen focus on 'impressing' others; so I normally go to one-man/woman photo-blogs/photo-journals and they are:

      Irene Nam: http://irenenam.squarespace.com/
      Rion: http://www.rion.nu/
      Apparently Nothing: http://apparentlynothing.com/
      Chormogenic: http://chromogenic.net/
      Hello: http://www.mylalaland.com/hello/index.html
      Whateverland: http://www.whateverland.com/
      Heiko Waechter: http://www.heikowaechter.com/
      Gosu: http://www.gosu.co.za/index.php
      Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/people/lebogang_nkoane/contacts/ ( people I follow on flickr — which expands at rate of 1 person a month);

      In fact including 75 (and my own photo-journal) these are the sites I visit first thing in morning: before twitter, facebook and news sites even — it's been a ritual for over 13 years.

      Word — so 75, is by far my best source of inspiration — the diverse styles inspire me — word is bond.

    2. Jeff Rikhotso

      I wake up to 75, but tend to check out other sources to see all sorts of styles, fashion,street,random and anything-in-between.

      Thanks for the URL's i have something different to check out today.

      I'd like to see how everything will look if you swap the 'journal' + 'quick notes' - as in put the 'quick notes' on top.
    2. lebogang nkoane
      Well, lets see ---

      *hacks the code
    3. lebogang nkoane
      It don't look so good, agree? *reverting back.
    4. Bareng Rakuba
      Looks fine, but it would still look good if 'notes' were to be at the bottom of the 'dialogue'. But hey, you are the master, what do I know?

      *love communication.
    5. lebogang nkoane
      I agree Bareng --- but I think it wouldn't allow for 'sharing' --- outside of the 'journal' I'd prefer a situation that informed others of what is going on --- dialogue is cool, but dialogue comes after a photograph has been put up --- whereas notes are (in time, we hope) new information that has been shared, which I think in the future will contain things that are of interest, right now.

      *but, my research (thanks to Mokokoma reminding me) shows that 3% of people use 1024px wide screens, whereas this design of the site accommodates (with limitations) 800px wide --- so I guess a 're-engineering' is on the cards to use up more real-screen-estate, type thing.

      *hopes i make sense.
    6. Bareng Rakuba
      You do.
    7. yizzi25
      im calling for the old font style please?

      this style is cool, but renders wack in linux! :(

      i ask , with tears in my eyes, "Can we please have the old font style please??"
    8. lebogang nkoane
      hmmm,,, that was verdana, né? You don't have Arial on linux?

      I will research and alternative to Arial for linux.

      *sips on beer.
    9. Ovidius Nkoane

      Shweet!

      I think this video illustrates what their rooftop looks like....i think

    2. Matt

      I'm in. They did a photowalk around the area a while back which I missed so I'd like to try and get a bit of a walk done.

      Let me know when and I'll be there...

    3. Jeff Rikhotso

      Jus spoke to a rep there and the reply goes a little something like this.

      "Hi Jeff,

      We are available during the week during specific hours 10-6pm most days and on sat mornings and sunday daytime. i can slot you in for twelve on sat, or alternatively some time sunday. The bar on our roof is not being managed yet, but feel free to give me a shout any way and we do the tour etc."

      Regards

      Shruthi

    4. Jeff Rikhotso

      Their Bar is not working, so i guess, we can arrange our own few cold ones, yeah?

    5. lebogang nkoane

      I'd like to check it out too — if its a fresh space, it could be a contender for the 75th Annual Exhibition (19th April).
