Contemplation
It's been a while since my last entry, though it seems like only last week, such is the passage of time. Maybe it's a mid-life thang, I suspect not though.
It's been too busy of late, for the wrong reasons and I find myself not the master of my destiny or time. One thing that has affected me profoundly of late is getting rid of my late father's gear, clothes that sort of thing. Talking to my mum about it brought back some ancient memories, the sudden realisation of the 'finality' of my father's death. It certainly hit me harder than I thought possible, re-opening raw wounds that I thought were healing nicely, I know it's only 4 months but sometimes it feels last week or conversely like an age ago.
After a couple of weeks feeling low I find myself feeling somewhat more optimistic. Next weekend I'm in York, a nice B'n B and Nelsonica '08 this time re-invented as 'The Experimental Time Traveller's Ball'. I'm looking forward to meeting old friends, fellow Nelsonic enthusiasts and maybe I might get involved in the 'meet 'n greet'.... well why not?
I'm also hoping the change of place / scenery will help my photographic muses. You never know. The B'n B is on the other side of York, I reckon 20-30 minutes walk from the NO8 venue, ample opportunity for photo 'opps' I hope. But no matter, it'll be good to get away from Hull, the 'Big Shitty'........
