As promised yesterday, I've uploaded a small selection of photos into the gallery section of this site at http://www.halclive.co.uk/gallery. So far all of the pictures I've uploaded are the ones that have me in them (although I'll admit it's a bit like playing "Where's Wally?" in one or two of them), but I might upload a few I took myself too if I can find the time to sort through the tens of thousands of pictures we have on this computer.
As has always been the case, if anyone has any photos that they think I might want to host here, just e-mail them to me and I'll see what I can do. It's also nice to know who's reading this and looking at my pictures, so please leave comments here and in the gallery if you can.

Another session done.
It's a little over a month from when I last posted on here, and I thought it was about time to provide an update.
As of yesterday, session three is over. As of today, session four starts.
The past month has been awesome with so many different things going on that I don't know what to write about. There've been so many people who've been really great who I've had to say goodbye to, and that's not so good - there've ben a load of campers I've been really sad to see leave, but counsellors leaving hits hard in a different way. My co-counsellor of last session, Euan from Scotland, left yesterday morning, and over the next week Charan from New Zealand and Kate, the camp nurse from England, will also be returning home.
In fact, because of a guy called Max leaving camp to return to Russia, I'm now effectively in charge of digital photography with all the associated responsibilities. Not only do I need to do all the photo uploads onto Bunk1, the saite where camp hosts all it's pictures, but I also need to build the closing campfire slideshow. Max did such a fantastic job that'll be a really hard act to follow, but as session 4 only has 68 campers, the powers that be have decided to put me in a camperless cabin to ensure that I have time to do what I need to do.
It's the first time I've ever been in a cabin without campers, and the experience is bound to be really quite different, especially with my new jobs. The atmosphere in camp is likely going to be different anyway with so few campers about (normally we have over a hundred, up to around 160), but I'm kind of looking forward to a slightly slower session.
I will try to get some new pictures together to upload to this site at some point, but in the meantime most of you should be able to access the camp's photo page at http://campcalifornia.bunk1.com where you'll get the chance to see my beautiful face if you've been missing it.
I'd better move now.
