My photography has been tough these last few months. I have been severely restricted due to a hip that needed replacing . I have been on crutches for some time and not able to walk far.
I have now had that fixed in the last 10 days and i am now on the road to recovery. I have had time to go through all my hard drives and be more organised. I have chosen the images for 2026 calendar and deleted lots of images clogging up the system !
I was hoping to be fit for the Autumn and that may still be the case. However i cannot drive for some time! It may have to wait for the cold winter days. I am not sure that they are that far away? This morning we had our second frost !
My wife has asked to have the heating on! I am still in shorts despite my surgery and wondering how long before i succumb to the colder days. However this morning i have had a walk around the block in my shorts and it not feeling cold! There is no wind thought so that helps.
One of the last things i photographed was a family taking part in a mud run! It was a lovely hot day. The mud was very wet and muddy ! What a fun shoot this was! I enjoyed to so much that i plan to do it myself next year when i have recovered enough.
At the moment i just have to sit and watch my friends getting out and about. Short term pain long term gain!
The surgeons did say that you must go slowly as this needs to last me now. It is hard when i am such an active person ! Patience wasn’t something i was blessed with !
I don’t have much to update in this blog. So i wish you all well and thanks for reading.
