Sadly I was unable to get out with or without my camera over the weekend. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is an unpredictable beast that hijacks your plans and life. It is a disorder that also tends towards self-blame but, in a positive step from previously, I am not blaming myself for not getting out. Small wins are just as important as the large ones.
I'll try to take some photographs in the garden this week as I prepare and plan my vegetable garden for the coming spring. No pressure upon myself to do so though. Baby steps.
Take care everyone, whatever you love to take pictures of in this world.

As a record to myself this is re-upload number 2 before appearing in your update feeds due to an ongoing Flickr issue.

Black and white re-edit of a shot from July 2015. Captured with my old Canon 7D and the 'nifty fifty' lens, Liz was number 34 in my '100 Strangers' project of street portraits. Her lovely red hair had caught my attention in the first place which is why I had never edited the shot in black and white at the time. In hindsight, however, she really suits a black and white edit with the dark alleyway really making her stand out. Enjoy!

Torrential thundery showers are expected across the UK today with localised flooding possible. June was the hottest on record and so far in July the UK has had above average rainfall. Deadly heatwaves for Southern Europe, parts of the USA and India are currently underway and I hope that everyone can get the shade and hydration they need.
Stay safe and stay hydrated my Flickr friends. Wishing you all the best for a weekend full of photography. Enjoy!

It actually is my Birthday today and it is a big fat one with a huge ZERO on the end of it. I feel like I ought to start wearing beige and clutching pearls at things I disagree with or something... Yikes!
Don't worry though, I actually had my age-related breakdown on my 30th some years ago, it was an early mid-life crisis. I hated turning 30, 40 was fine though...
Today I am mostly taking it easy, the weather is a little grey, so perhaps a stroll through some woods to a castle and ruined house and of course, some wonderful food later.
Thank you all for supporting this aging street shooter that hopes to get back to it one day not too far away. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this previously unpublished shot from August 2020.
