Thanks Sue. I guess I picked up a little bit of wisdom in my old age eh?![]()
Hi Sue, How are you?
You too were named in my MIA/AWOL bulletin the other day![]()
Only need Andy to turn up as he's not been about for ages either
Hi Sarah. I havent been myself lately so I thought I wouldnt be much fun

Hard learned lessons I think Jon. Been there, done that, so I feel for Sarah.
So who have you been then![]()
Hi Sarah. I havent been myself lately so I thought I wouldnt be much fun
Me too. I got out of my latest relationship recently too. I should never have given her a second chance, but I blame some lousy medication side effects for addling my brain and numbing me to the realities of her actions, which I overlooked and gave her that 2nd chance. She has been telling me how she misses me, unfortunately for her I don't miss her! Life goes on, without her in my case.![]()
Oh I find that hard to believe Sue. You never seem the type to be down.
BTW, at your camera club do you know someone called keith R?
Sorry to hear that John. So you are having to pick yourself up again too.
In a way, yes and no. I'm feeling really quite good about myself at the moment and very happy to be out of the relationship. In a way, despite it being a happy relationship, it was dragging me down and leaving me feeling depressed. I can't say she was impressed to hear that.![]()
Oh, and couple that with coming off some of my medication I've found a new zing about myself, plus i'm getting back to being my usual self. The biggest change has been my brain seems to have found its power and logic again![]()
I do try not to be miserable but I have been lonely since my break up last year and it gets to me sometimes.
Yes I think I do know a Keith R
And Jon it's always a bit yes and no isn't it. I've been fine up until today, if he'd only just emigrate or something, it would be a whole lot easier![]()
I can understand that Sue. It's finding that happiness with yourself that elludes many people. I've always taken the view that when I'm happy with myself those around me can be happy too (doesn't always mean they are though. lol).
Thats why I havent been on here when I was too miserable.
At least you have a gorgeous dog to keep you company![]()
Well, I think we ought to move on to more brighter subjects now. Too much doom and gloom here.
Looking forward to finding out what the topic is for this weeks 52It's started to help give me my mojo back, and I'm hoping to do a session with my girlies tomorrow too.
Why did you ask about Keith R? Do you know him?

Well, I think we ought to move on to more brighter subjects now. Too much doom and gloom here.
I need pictures for "So cold" "Be still" "Animal" and " Flower". Thats plenty to keep me busy

I'm going on a lighting course next month.
Damn, and i feel much better when I hear about others doom and gloom too!![]()
Oh ok, if you insist... Shall we talk about Chris in his absence? At least we won't get any flak until later... hehe
which course is that Sarah, and what aspect of lighting is it covering?

Someone else's problems are always so much easier to sort than your own, as there is no emotion involved.
Chris is my fwend and I will not indulge in snake bashing :razz:

Ok, what did he promise?
lol.Only need Andy to turn up as he's not been about for ages either

It's being run by my local camera club and is 08:30 'til 18:30 and I think it's on and off camera flash :shrug: Who cares, will learn something and it runs over lunch![]()
haha. Lunch indeed! Well good for you for doing it. Lighting can be really complex or really simple. The main thing I try to remember is there's only one sun so artificial lighting should follow that rule - one main light, others compliment. Otherwise you end up with shadows that look unnatural. A very rough rule of thumb, but it tends to guide well...
I took some photos of some BOPs at the weekend and he very kindly named them all for me![]()
I use the collins bird guide, e-version.Someone else's problems are always so much easier to sort than your own, as there is no emotion involved.

lol, funny you should say that![]()

I like that analogy
He is my fwend too but snake bashing is so much fun.

hi Sue, how's you?
Work been manic, and family life just as bad...here's to a peaceful day (whenever she comes)
I've got some 'studio' pics![]()

I hope you have managed to have some fun too. I am getting better but have had a bad time lately, just picking myself up.
