Not sure who to vote for?

If your not sure who to vote for in the forth coming UK elections on the 5th May. This site may help you decide Vote for Policies. The idea is that you read anonymously the key points from all the parties manifestos then decide which you like the most. The site will then provide you with a breakdown of how you scored. So you may found you have voted for mostly Labour policies, but you may have found you also voted for BNP and the Green party polices as well. Its an interesting way of comparing the different policies on all the main issue of Crime, Welfare, Immigration, Education and Environment etc.

Not sure wether this helps decide with local election candidates. In Cambridge it might be useful.

Commercial Photographer Alex Orrow website and Portfolio Update

A new facility is now available for clients and image buyers to access photographs online via a gallery website. The galleries can be configured to be accessible to specific clients and only by those invited. Public access galleries of commercially available stock photography and personal event photography are accessible by anyone and are fully searchable. Full resolution downloads can be made available as well as the ability to create a lightbox of favourite images which in turn can be shared with other registered users. All galleries are equipped with social media sharing tools and email tools. Tools are also available to provide code to embed slideshows on a website or blog of choice.

The galleries can be accessed via the client area of my  commercial portfolio website or by invitation. An internet search of a gallery name could also provide another access point.

Street Congestion 1906 San Francisco, California

Filmed from a tram in 1906 San Francisco. Could not resist posting this, as its a fascinating look back in time at how probably, many streets in large cities looked at the turn of the 20th century. With horse and cart, pedestrians, trams and cyclists all using the street at the same time! Our city streets seem quite sedate by comparison.

San Francisco exact same view and perspective filmed in 2005
