i haven’t gone, or died, … yet … in fact i’ve been very busy this past year with one thing and another including lots of travels; france, italy, spain, and of course east asia, including thailand bali, and as usual, japan.

it would be fair to say that i’ve been undergoing something of a ‘photographer’s block’ if this can be said to truly exist. on my last trip particularly, i’ve felt that my ‘vision’ (i have to say i hate that word — it seems to imply some sort of spirituality which i certainly don’t acknowledge) anyway ‘my vision’ for want of something better has gone. i’ve been seeing little of value in very recent work, nothing to excite me, and little exciting in the results.

i’ve also gotten myself bogged down in organising, supervising, and generally trying to beat some sense into my photo archive, like most other digital photographers i guess, i have a profligating collection of work, now going back decades, which i’m trying to whip into some kind of accessible order, using adobe lightroom’s flags, ratings, and filters to make some sense of it all.
