Apologies for not updating for a few days. If you understand Romanian I am sure you can forgive me this time...

New post in from my mate Amber, containing loads of bits and pieces from her recent trip to India all "bought from a kid outside the tomb of Tipu Sultan", which sounds pretty cool to me. The package arrived today sent from Brighton yesterday and contains bookmarks, a keyring and some blank postcards.

In my opinion my REAL wall is not a place but a state of mind, and the whole philosophy of it is to interact with REAL people in REAL space again so, as a load of friends were round the package from Amber became a huge talking point and culminated in a social photoshoot for tonight.

Engrossed in the mail-art

Samurai slash gash grows larger and bleeds some mail art all over my underwear, and in response to the mail from botheyesclosed, clouds start gathering for the first of 40 days...

Test shot March, 18 2009, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

Postcard from my cousin, as held by me

my REAL wall - March 20, 2009, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

This shot has a profile pic in it of me illuminated in the bath and the lettering is done in light. I like the eerie effect of this particular take, although I done 3 shots tonight, so take a look at flickr to see the other results for yourself and decide which is best.

The shot was done in a completely darkened bathroom by selectively illuminating parts of the scene featuring REAL post using an LED pocket torch and a standard AA maglite, shone through a carboard tube to minimise halo.

The writing was done in the air using the LED torch

This was the second of the 3 takes done tonight and the whole shoot took about 2 hours, finished at 4:30am.

My cousin from Germany sent me a postcard and his wife, which was rather nice of him

No significant new post today so I thought I'd take the night off and run myself a nice warm bath

myREALwall March 16, 2009 second post, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

New posts from Stewgeez and Alex and grthink, and lots of old posts now consigned to the archives.

Some Romania paraphernalia, boarding passes and passport. Bit of a rush job as I wanted to get to sleep before 2am for a change

my REAL wall March 15, 2009, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

A really quick and easy status update today, in my room in Romania. I am staying with my Romanian family here and just wanted to keep it simple. Catalina is in my friends list as a REAL friend and one of the ideas of the REAL wall is to use it to show that REAL social networking is supposed to bring you closer to your friends.

So here we are, together in Romania and updating my status. The Cat in the mirror represents Catalina and my profile pic is me in the mirror.

No letters today as I'm in another country.
Simple.

New REAL photograph taken of me by my flatmate QQ, and I decide that it's time to open the Calendar application sent to me by Neil

myREALwall - March 10, 2009, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

Minimal styling with colour strips, profile pic and the aeroplanes I was sent by Neil as focal point. Letters to the side from Neil and Jen, with peg from High Heel Girl, showing archives at the bottom and a desperate need to put the laundry on again...

my REAL wall gallery - Yaa Asantewaa past artists: Kelo Roger and Glen John, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

These are part of a huge collection of photos I've been given to scan that belong to one longstanding of Yaa Asantewaa Carnival arts group. These photos date back to at least the 1990s and in this gallery they show when Yaa was used as a gallery for up and coming and established artists.

I've never met Kelo Roger or Glen Ford John.

The Fishing application going into my REAL bin and I have bought an expensive box of imported Twinkies for someone special

Time to delete an application methinks...

my REAL wall - Professional edition - March 04, 2009, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

At work I was asked to present a poster showing "My Learning Journey" that resulted in me ending up in the job I was in. We could present this in any way we wanted, so I drew a poster.

As my job is in e-learning, much of my work overlaps with my spare-time wasting hobbies. I mean at work I have to use blogs and forums, and at home I use blogs and forums. At work I do various projects with flickr, and at home I take lots of photos and put them on flickr.

So, it was really only a matter of time before my REAL wall had to come into work, and here it is.

The professional edition has document filing capabilities but none of those silly applications you mess about with in the home edition.

This image, complete with annotations etc, is also linked as part of my professional portfolio.

The Fishing application is taking over my wall and completely swamping the wall posts. It seems that by accepting that fish from Neil has had ultimately detrimental effects.

my REAL wall gallery - Trinidad 2K9, originally uploaded by andytgeezer.

All the memorabilia from Trinidad carnival 2k9, where I spent the week from 18-26 February 2009. This was my first ever trip to Trinidad and every bit as amazing as I thought it would be.

The display space is the front door of my bedroom.
