Had to leave a project I have been working on since November a little earlier than planned because of me losing it a bit with someone. Need to fix my head a bit. Not great times for me.

Day One Hundred
Day One Hundred Originally uploaded by Dustin Diaz Only just discovered the photographer behind this image, the 100th in a one year one-photo-a-day style project, where he is exploring what he can do with simple flash guns. He was mentioned on strobist.com. Inspirational.
New opportunities
I found out on my return from holiday that I shall be rolling off my current project within a couple of months. I had originally expected to be around until at least the end of the year, but a reorganisation of the project and a desire by the client to take on much more themselves …
Driving home
In theory. the latest project I am on is some 36 miles closer to home than my last project and the journey involves less congested routes. The exception is the merger of the M5 and M6 (something I used to miss as I travelled over the top on the M6 Toll). My TomTom’s traffic link …

It takes far too long and makes me sick. No, really. I …
