I’ve made good progress today.
Next I need to finish selecting photographs from last year and then the real fun begins as I start to work my way through my archive. I’m really looking forward to getting to this stage and will enjoy chipping away at it as the nights get longer. In fact it’s probably the perfect over-winter exercise.
Here’s one I grabbed quickly from 2004 - taken possibly in Scarborough. I’m heading back up the east coast next week for a coupe of days photographic indulgence. I’m going alone as I find it’s the only way I can properly lose myself in what’s around me. I can’t wait. It’s been a long time since I’ve been away with the sole (soul?) purpose of taking photographs. It feels like a luxury and I’m full of gratitude on so many levels that I find myself able to do this.
Being anything in life involves doing it. It doesn’t matter to what end you’re doing it, just doing it is what’s important. I’ve no idea why I’m doing it but that doesn’t matter. Why should it? We don’t need to have reasons to do what we do - just doing them’s enough.
