I just wrote this post, but one thing Wordpress is missing is an auto-save and (Mail.app stylee) update funtion.
Basil Pao takes all the photos for Michael Palin’s travel books. He’s really, really great. One of my favorite discoveries of today (another being the 23″ iMac above) was a couple of folders on Palin’s Travels - Michael’s homepage - 300MB of Desktop Backgrounds. You can also get to these individually by browsing the site’s photo sections and clicking under “Wallpaper” in the right hand column, but its messy. I used SiteCrawler (free to demo).
Go Here for a starter, then follow the folders through to a big list of images. Try: sah for sahara, then click photos and 1024 (size of your screen).
The photo above of a pretty tibetan lady with a cigar is one of my favorites. See the original page here. Mhhh, a thousand words.
As I said I’ve already written this within a line or two finished… I was nearly finished! If your a Mac user you’ll notice how easy it is to close Safari even if you have 20 tabs open with two keystrokes. This is fixed in Leopard, with a little Firefox styled dialogue box, I’m happy to report.
We love Michael Palin’s travels. Will have to check out those images.
I’m an old friend of Basil’s and I’m trying to get in touch with him. do you know his email address? Thanks
Mary, thanks for dropping by! I’m afraid I don’t know Basil personally - I should think Michael Palin would have contact information if you’d like to contact him best go via his Publisher:
M. Palin c/o
The Orion Publishing Group
Orion House,
5 Upper Saint Martin’s Lane,
London WC2H 9EA
U.K.
or e-mail someone at Palin’s website: http://www.palinstravels.co.uk/ - although Michael is not the webmaster he is in contact with that lot, I believe!
sorry, best I can do. I think Basil is off in Europe with Palin taking stills for a new series “Michael Palin’s New Europe” at the moment. Best of Luck.
