Why the underground

This site is my face on the internet. I've been trying to come up with a good design premise. Inspiration comes from strange sources.

First was the name "underground". That was due to a report about underground movement, underground press, rebel movements. It was edgy and cool. Sadly my ideas of using it for a web site was more along the, underground tube station lines, and the decaying ruins of some train station.

Eventually, it was when the lights broke in the basement of my flat when I was trying to do the laundry. The pipes in the roof dissapeared into the darkness, so I grabbed my camera and created the photography now used for the site.

The next day I was taking pictures of every day things, lights, lamps, lifts, corridors and there was this lovely, almost musically loud lift. I had to grab a sound sample.

After that the site just came together, there was naturally a few design issues, which are still getting ironed out. Maybe in the not to distant future, a flash version will be created.

The name underground also has potential in the back of my mind for a future business proposal. A man can dream.
