i know it's been a while, i've been neglecting my DA duties and all that stuff, but there'll be some good stuff along shortly.

The race season finishes this coming weekend, so by next weekend I'll be returning to landscapes etc and my DA life will return to normal.

There's a new girlfriend on the scene too, so perhaps not all my spare time will be spent on DA (nudge nudge, wink wink) but i'm currently in the States with the Houser Man filling up cards with awesome scenes of New England and even Quebec!! No wave skimmers or Fire Trucks sadly, but plenty of NE foliage.

Hell, I've only just realised that my subs have run out!!!

Blimey, why didn't they send an email? Perhaps my spam filter ate it.

Anyway, promise i'll start submitting again, even some bike photos will be included too, it's just a long way out of the rut i've been in all summer.

Thanks Vik, i think!

Yeah I know there's not been much happening here recently - primarily because of the racing taking up most of my processing time and well, I have a life to lead !

But I'm gonna do some normal photos over the next few weeks, before the racing kicks off in a fortnight again.

Shooting 4-5000 images a weekend takes some processing and by the time our galleries go live Wed/Thur the week after, I'm about done with processing and frankly can't bear the idea of seeing the Adobe symbol fire up again!

But all is good I guess, you guys have all been busy in my absence which is as it should be.

Sorry I've not been replying to comments and thanking everyone for favourites but something has to give and those were it. So thank you all anyway, past present and future who I haven't / won't thank personally but believe me it's all appreciated by yor truly.

Bring on the Spring! It appears to have arrived in the Shire and the Hobbits are loving it.

So I suppose it had to happen, I've done my first portrait session.

And very scary it was too, but fortunately my friends who sat for me were sympathetic and not too expectant! Result. The day was a low pressure day with no real agenda and I think it was a success.

Guess you lovely people will let me know as I'm starting to upload some of the results.
