"The saddest moment is when the one who gave you the best memories ... becomes a memory"

Happy 30th Birthday to redsquare.com! 🎉

Today, our domain redsquare.com hits an incredible milestone – 30 years old! In the fast-paced world of the internet, that's practically ancient, yet still thriving!

Recently, I faced every digital creator's worst nightmare.

Through an unfortunate oversight, I accidentally reformatted a drive not realising it contained my original, fully retouched, high resolution equirectangular images. These weren't just any files; they were the culmination of a detailed shooting and processing workflow, and the source for all my optimized image tiles.

This was more than a minor setback – it was a catastrophic loss. Without those original equirectangular images, I couldn't add new content to my tours or even re-publish existing ones.

Launching the Pano2VR tour was heartbreaking because it revealed the extent of the issue as it listed the files that could not be found.

A short story of a cap that became my daily companion, a cherished reminder of extraordinary moments and friendships forged halfway across the world.

Going through many years of Mum’s photographs and papers I came across an old notebook that had some writings from 1943. I’d like to share those writings with you.
