The Times They Are A’Changin

Once again, lack of time due to pressure of work has prevented me from getting out with my camera for what seems like ages and from doing anything related to photography for far too long. I am ashamed to say I have not updated this site for weeks, nor even finished the planned maintenance or replacing the galleries as I intended and even the photoblog has not been updated.

This was partly due to my G5 Apple desktop computer developing an intermittent hardware fault so for several weeks I was without it whilst Apple’s engineers tried to find the problem. Having to work from a laptop, with insufficient memory, accessing backup files on external drives, meant working on images was just not practical. So not only have I been too busy to get out and take pictures, I haven’t been able to process or work on those I have. To add to my frustration, Canon had not, until recently, provided updated drivers for the IPF5000 printer so I was unable to even make prints without a reboot into OSX Tiger!

I struggled to find time for research and for preparing a big assignment for my MA, adding further to my frustrations but I got there eventually and feel I am now really making some progress with this project. I will post separately about this.

All in all, not a very productive past couple of months but that will change now - I’ll make sure of it!

“If your time to you
Is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’
Or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’.”

Bob Dylan
