Stock Photography

The contract market has been a little too quiet recently, so I have decided to diversify my business a little. I've set up a portfolio on IStock, which has some of my photos (mainly nature and landscapes, some buildings). I'm quite proud of some of these, so please take a look, and if you know anyone who might need some stock photos, pass it on.

Kæshroþrast summons a king (Khangaþyagon)

Happy St Hildegard's day! This is an original story, written in Khangaþyagon, that describes the wizard Kæshroþrast casting a spell to summon a king to himself. This story should give you a good sense of how magic works on Huna. Text and translation available at https://ift.tt/2D08Nih

The Student, the "Raven" and the Ice Ship

This is from Conlang Relay 13, https://ift.tt/2LzYohf Translating this text gave me a feel for the folklore and legends of the Leyen, so it's quite an important text in the development of iljena.

Tales From Other Worlds- The Tower of Babel (Khangaþyagon)

The Babel Text is a de facto standard comparison text for conlangers, and I translated it into Khangaþyagon a few years ago. It proved quite tricky to read - the word "gatafakufsher" (we shall not be scattered) was a particular stumbling block - but after a few practices I decided to just go ahead and record it anyway. To read it (either in the romanisation or in Bukstav runes), go to http://www.frathwiki.com/Khangaþyagon_Babel_Text
