Finally, the Guyana book is finished...!  At the moment it's out there on Blurb in two versions, and two sizes.  I'm hoping that next year I can get it onto Amazon to make it a bit easier to find, and maybe a bit cheaper too.  For the moment though, that's where it's at!

Hmmm.  This journal thing is definitely not happening on a regular basis!

The news is - I've just completely lost two whole months!  Two months laid low by a car driver who didn't notice me riding down the middle of the road and thought that turning right across the front of me might be a good idea.  Until I went over his windscreen!  That's about all I remember, and here I am, two months later still unable to pick up my camera....

But, the news isn't all bad.  Yesterday the metal pin was pulled from my shoulder (good old NHS rusty pliers) and I can now move enough to do some work on the computer.  I've got a lot of work to catch up on.  I'm hoping to finally get the Guyana book together, and released in time for Christmas!  That, of course, means a complete re-process of all the images - for some it's just a case of sorting out the WB on a decent monitor, for others it's a major re-working!

Also on the good news front: I'll be picking up a photo award in London later in the year.  That sure helps keep the blues at bay

And finally, I'm back on the exercise bike.  A long way to go till I get to the level of fitness I'd achieved in August, but what's life without a challenge?....  like life without pictures I guess; pretty dull!

How did that happen?  One minute it's February; the sky is blue, the sun is shining and it's feeling like summer...  the next minute here we are in May; the sky is grey, it's raining, and I'm wondering if there's going to be a summer!

It's been a couple of busy months for me and my camera.  A few events, a wedding, some car photography and some travelling round the North of England.  Main news, however, is that I've got a new blog up and running.  Rather than trying to do another year of Photo-a-Day I've started on a Photo of the Week project.  Each week I pick four photos and visitors can choose their favourite.

The blog is at www.jmbroscombe2.blogspot.com

Of course, chances are that the four choices will all make their way onto DA, but they'll go up on the blog first!

Now, on with my do list: need to: upload blog for last week, upload blog for this week, design a better logo for my website, update my website, get some new photos onto DA, start processing some of my backlog from this week....

Enjoy!

So, I've started on the slow process of adjusting photos so that they look right to me on a normal monitor.  This could take some time!  Meanwhile, I have a photo entered into a competition - not a great photo, not a great competition, but I'd love to notch up some more votes!  If you're feeling generous with a couple of clicks, then follow the link!

Each and every vote is precious!

Meanwhile - I may have to come out of my photographic hibernation soon...  Maybe I need to take on another photo a day project to kick start my snapping?  Enthusiasm seems so hard to come by in February...

So here I am with a great big head cold and the sudden realisation that all this time I've been saving jpegs from photoshop with some awful colour profile attached.  No wonder they never look the same to me online!

So, a celebration is in order...  followed by the re-processing of a whole load of files...  Or maybe I should just not look back?
