(Second try posting this)
I have been playing with a new Microsoft technology called Silverlight (in this day and age, it's well worth having a few strings to one's bow).
Anyway, one tool built on this is called Deep Zoom Composer, and it's pretty cool. I've thrown together a Deep Zoom panel with over 1000 StagePics photographs at http://www.stagepics.co.uk/sp2
Drag the black surface around with your mouse to see more pictures. Birl the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, or click (to zoom in) and shift-click (to zoom out) if you have no mouse wheel.
I'm very impressed, and am looking forward to playing more with this technology.

Two Shows
This has been an amazingly busy week!
I haven't taken any show photos for a couple of months, but this week I had two productions to shoot - vastly different to each other, too
On Monday, I went into Edinburgh to photograph Edinburgh Music Theatre's production of Hair. As ususal from EMT, I was impressed by the performances. Everyone on stage was committed to the show, and it was clear how much work they had been doing. They knew what to do, when to do it and they were able to rely on their colleagues to do the same thing. They were focused and intent on what they were doing. While the show was not exactly my cup of tea, the quality of performance was simply outstanding.
Tuesday saw me in Dunfermline, watching Carnegie Youth Theatre's Annie. Once again, I was amazed by how well the show was performed. I could not think of the performers as "children" - they were performers who were so good on stage that they demanded to be compared to an adult copmany, and they did as well as most of those!
Congratulations to both - and I'll have your photographs online as soon as possible!
