Well almost, but still hanging around like a bad smell.

Hi.

What can I say except work work work work work... plus that stress seems to truncate your vocabulary some.

See... writing journals is like recreation... and time for recreation I haven't got. However, today I've made just a little me-time. This morning I went into town to pick up a book. I've finished it already - it was that good. If you're into Star Wars and enjoy a good Zombie yarn then Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber is one for you. I finished it in 4 hours. It's only been out a short while and I've been itching to read it since I saw the ad.

What have I been up to?

Working... not taking photos... trying to set up one or two side projects in between - one I'm particularly enthused about and will tell all as and when it's ready.

Still haven't gotten around to sorting the book out. (Sorry Ken). Will do a.s.a.p... heart attack pending.

Anyway, enough about my and uber interesting life, how's you?

Thanks to everyone that's written to me concerned by my absence, you know who you are

PS. Gonna be a dad again in March - did I mention that before?

PPS.

I come across a lot of wonderful photography outside of dA, whether they be archival sites or specific photographers and I've always wanted to share it here as well as in my blog. My intention is to provide links to these sites as and when I find them here. dA has a plethora of many many fantastic photographers, but believe it or not, there are many many out there that don't use dA. Take a look, I've even managed to encourage one or two to join!

Here are a few to whet your appetite and expand your mind

NEW! Diana H Bloomfield - Pinhole Portraiture
NEW! Jean Yves Lemoigne
Speigel Online - East Germany Up Close and Personal
Beyond Light - The X-Ray Photography of Albert Koetsier
Square America - 1930's Mugshots
Medicine Men - Excerpts from the Alaska Digital Archive
Cara Barer - Paper Abstractions
Andrew Bush - 66 Drives
Gary Salter

I'll be posting more as and when I come across them
