Possibly 2, well if students can do it so can I  Lots been happening lately, back problem related, so I have decided to take things a little easier for a while on the shooting side. As some know I have had Osteoarthritis in my lower back for many a year, and have tried to never let it stop me from doing anything, unfortunately the pain level has raised quite a bit and I need some time to get it restored to a bearable level, so I can get back to doing what I love shooting and flashing in public  So if I'm not around much you know why, plus it will give me some time to get my head around wordpress, allowing me to come back with a vengeance, well hopefully!! Not leaving or anything, will still frequent here etc., just slowing down a bit Gareth |

Hi Garath Sorry to hear you are not too well hope you improve before too long. If you cant do your normal photography and start getting withdrawals  do what I did try another type of photography that you might be able to cope with. I have osteoarthritis together with some other conditions and had to stop doing weddings / portraits quite a while back. I turned to nature photography, in the beginning just to stop me being bored and although some days its impossible for me to get out there "shooting and flashing" at least with nature photography I can do it at my own pace and in my own time and its surprising how much more I have learned about photography since I have been doing Nature.

Hi Gareth
Sorry to hear about your back, will pray for healing. I know what you mean about Wordpress (wish I could afford to pay someone do it)
Hope to see you back soon
God bless

Iain, will try hopefully be there on Monday
Matt, again will try had a great day in Edinburgh
David, if I can get my head around it I'll let you know
Jan, thanks hoping to be back in fighting form (wife reckons I'm stubborn), if not will reassess the situation in 12 months and see which direction I want to go in
Everyone else, look after your backs they are valuable, I have struggled on for 15 years, have achieved some incredible things (crossing the Sinai for charity in 2000, gaining my L amongst loads of other stuff), and i am determined to carry on after some R&R (pretty hard with the 2 boys jumping on me all the time)
