Hi guys,

I finally got around to making a new journal! (Hurray for me!) Right.. plenty of happenings since I last posted a journal or even some pictures.. Work stuff going crazy, car crashes.. all that fun stuff you know? Anyway, I seem to have completely lost inspiration and don't really know how to get out of that lull. It's still there really, but since I am wasting away on here, I thought I'd at least go through some oldish pictures and see what is even mediocre for me to show to you guys! Results of that should be uploaded pretty soon (There aren't many).

Anywhoooo, if anyone is at all interested, I would like to perhaps request some suggestions on how to get myself a little inspiration? I mean, I've hit a bit of a wall really, creatively. Perhaps it's just because I see the landscapes nearby everyday and don't see them as particularly great? I'm even struggling a little with playing the guitar, which is similarly lame (Although I somehow doubt that's effected by my lacklustre with regards to landscapes around here recently lol), not that I ever really play for other people anyway lol. I mean, I'm planning a holiday this year, so that should give me a fair few photo opportunities, but I mean more in the long run.. Perhaps I just need to explore some more. Maybe Motivation is also a contributing factor. I'd appreciate some ideas though.

Talk to ya soon!!

I haven't got round to doing an updated journal for a long time now so this is my chance! Updating since the last journal, I have had my lame operation a while back, pretty much fully recovered (Although need to get to the gym some more to fix everything properly) but who really likes to do that? :P

Along side that, since the last time I spoke to you lot, my car died big time. We decided to change the engine, but hilariously the newer engine was screwed also with the same problem (Which you can't tell till everything is fixed and ready to start up). That was a pretty depressing time lol. Car's are a nightmare but I decided for a laugh, I'd order a new one! Still waiting for it though, the slackers.

I've also been playing some guitar at a blues club. Taken me a long time to pluck up the courage for that, but now I have I'll have to keep it up, hopefully that'll help my progression. :)

So in general, all is fairly well. Especially as I just got back in contact with an awesome friend of mine after too long! You know who you are.. welcome back hon! ;)

Anyway, I gotta run! Take care, till next time! :aww:

To Recuperate!

Basically, On Sunday, I'll most likely be away for a little while (Or maybe a long while), while i recover from an operation I am having on my lung on Monday. (Gotta trek all the way to London :( lol) But yeah, after that, and maybe before i go in, I'll try to take some shots, ready for when i come back and see you guys. Just thought for some reason you might like to know where i am when i disappear. :P

I look forward to seeing all your new works when I get back, and showing you some of mine too. :)

Take care for now guys!

Well, its been ages since i updated this thing, so i thought I'd fix that. :)

Anyway, had a pretty rough few weeks (couple of months really :P), I've been really busy at work, with exams and whatnot so I'm constantly studying really. More recently i have fallen behind at work, due to my lung collapsing (How friendly of it!). That sucked and got me a week off work and cant do anything laborious. (Which is a pain when you're an Aircraft Engineer lol) so soon ill have to go for surgery to get that sorted out for good. Then even more recently my band broke up, which sucks bigtime.. So all in all its been lame, but im back on my feet and hopefully will get to go out and shoot some stuff (With a camera!). I've missed it for quite some time now and its time to get my photography hat back on! :P

Anyway, Dan, Out!
