Romania Photo Story

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

Just over a week in Romania, from mid-August (bit slow uploading this time). Most of the time around Bucharest and Transylvania.

The music is “Your Song” by Ellie Goulding (originally Elton John, of course).

You can also find these photos elsewhere online

Two and a half weeks of travelling around China from Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an and back to Shanghai, here’s the usual photo story:

Denmark & Sweden Photo Story

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

For the past week, I’ve been travelling around the Copenhagen area of Denmark, and south Sweden. The usual stash of photos have made their way back, and onto this photo story.


The music is “Notions of Love” by Clare Means, a performer from Los Angeles who was playing and singing to a large gathering on the streets of Copenhagen on my last night. If you like this, I’d suggest ordering her CD.

Norway Photo Story

Monday, June 29th, 2009

I’m now back home from a week away in Norway, and whilst there are still draft blog posts sitting on the server, I’ve gone ahead and procrastinated over their completion by sorting out photos instead. All these pictures come from Norway mostly along the Oslo-Bergen route, including a stop off in Flåm.


The rest of the photos, including the ones in the video above are on Blakepics, where you can also find a full quality version of this video. The music for this one is an acoustic version of “My Heroine” by Silverstein.

GalleryTweet – Twitter for your Gallery2

I’m releasing the updated module for Gallery2 under the name of GalleryTweet. It was prompted by a few people mentioning they couldn’t get my earlier hack to work – so I thought I’d build something that was (slightly) more robust, and might stand to work on installations other than my own.

You might want to skip my ramblings and jump straight to the download, so here’s a link for you folks:

  1. Install by unzipping to the root of your Gallery2 installation, and activate through the plugins panel.activate
  2. Once logged in, edit your Twitter settings through the left navigationmenu
  3. You should enter your twitter username / password, and the format you’d like to send your Tweets out with.twitter-settings
  4. Now while you’re browsing the Gallery, Tweet about any images using the link below the thumbnailtweet

Please drop me a message on Twitter @kevinblake if you’ve found the plugin useful, can’t get it work, or have any other feedback.  That download link again, in case you missed it the first time:

Happy Tweeting!
