St Andrews Stu

664. Feeling a little blue, without you

26 April 2006

Hey, people. What on earth is going on with you? I posted a reasonable image yesterday and included a bit of important history to boot. And what happens? I'll tell you what happens, less than 25 people bother to look at it, and not one of them says so much as a hello. You really have got to get with the programme here: I'm trying to convince BBC Radio One that I am a serious blogographer in order to blag myself a back-stage weekend pass to their One Weekend event in Dundee in a couple of weeks - and you lot are doing my chances no good at all. The Radio One people will be looking here, and what will they see? I'll tell you what they'll see, they'll see no comments from you. So what will they think? I'll tell you what they'll think, they'll think that I'm nothing but a middle-aged hack with too little talent and too much time on my hands! And while that may be a reasonably accurate description of me, we don't need to be telling them that, do we? So come on people, get on down with the Dude and hit me with some hits and cool words (for example, comments along the lines of: 'magnificent image Stu, you really are so talented', or 'I wish that I was as phenomenal a person as you, Stu', or 'I gaze in awe at your images and only hope that one day I can have the slightest fraction of your exquisite talent' - we wouldn't want to be too outrageous, or they might notice!) If you do that, then there is a chance that I will be invited to mix with the pretty young things and become a photographer to some of my favourite bands (well, Snow Patrol are one of my favourite bands) and become a groupie and follow them on tour... The ball's in your court, dudes. You know what you have to do. Peace, man, and be cool. I'm off to buy a pair of flared jeans and a crash diet. This photo is currently riding high on Flickr Explore - now's your chance to show those Flickrites that they are not the only ones with marvellous taste!

Stu, yes, anyone who wants to photograph Snow Patrol and their 3 chords deserves a back stage pass. And I mean that in the most metaphorical sense possible. :))

Lovely blue sky Stu, really nice.

Fantastic colours!

Such a Velvia feel to the colors. Your coastline provides such brilliant opportunities. Rugged, rich history, amazing stone architecture and brooding moody weather all work in the favour of a skilled photographer. Beautiful Stu.

Nice colors

Thought you'd be after one of those passes. If anyone in the Dundee area deserves one it is you. Think you would do a great job on the Radio1 weekend.
Most days I look at your images and read your daily banter with enjoyment but sorry I don't always comment.
Don't suppose you are the only person feeling blue about St.Andrews at the moment. Should we call you an A list photoblogger.

lovel the deep moodiness and rich colors to this, hey do not worry, I hardly ever get many comments and I think I put some good ones up also, but I am just learning to get around on here also, so did not realize there was a community on this site

i probably won't take it personally though. :)
commenting does vary from day to day.
i do like this one though...beautiful rich colours.

Un beau traitement Stu, une image plus qu'une photo
J'aime cette approche de "recréation"
Bravo
