Quite a few people who use Safari on the Macintosh operating system have reported a problem with my photographs. When they click on the thumbnail image to view the enlarged photo, the pop-up window opens instantly as expected, but the image never loads. Suffice to say that wasn’t quite what I intended.

The javascript that I’ve been using on my blog was written before Safari was a twinkle in Apple’s eye. Unfortunately it wasn’t written by me, so I’m not sure how to fix it. And it hasn’t been updated recently.

I’ve just decided (this afternoon in fact) to stop using that script and use a more friendly way of linking to my photos. In the post below this one, I’ve added some photos from the Notting Hill Carnival. Clicking on the thumbnail opens the larger version in a new window. The large version is now stored on my personal photography website, http://www.markgoldstein.co.uk.

I’ve found that I’ve been posting a lot of the images in 2 places - PhotographyBLOG and markgoldstein.co.uk - so this will prevent replication and stop filling-up my web server :-)

This change will affect all future entries - I don’t have the time to go through all of the existing photos on PhotographyBLOG and change them (not at the moment anyway…).
