i have absolutely no idea where the year has gone . . . you'd think i could go through my hordes of snaps and work it out but no . . . i am still shocked to be over half way to xmas again . . . madness . . .

anyways . . . i have been rather absent from deviant art for the past few months . . . gotten a bit slack . . . my bad, life in the real world went a bit mad but it would appear to have settled slightly now . . . for a couple of months at least, before xmas kicks in like mad at work . . . joyous . . .

i am about to embark on the mission of uploading the gems i managed to capture this year before my beloved camera did a nosedive in spain . . . poor thing landed right on it's face . . . it still works, after a fashion . . . i'm dithering a bit about sending it off to be repaired as i don't want to be without a camera and . . .

. . . i haven't quite decided what new camera i shall be investing in yet . . . yes, i have decided to upgrade myself to a dslr . . . recent photo jaunts have made me realise i need the extra ooomph an slr delivers . . . old faithful can't do everything ha ha . . .

so until i have a new camera to play with, i am reluctant to part with old faithful, so it looks as though the next few weeks may appear slightly blurred around the edges . . .

but anyway . . . i hope you enjoy what i manage to upload from before the death of my camera, and maybe you'll even like some of the ones i took post-accident!

happy wednesday everyone . . .
