November 3rd 2010

Well I haven't really been one for the whole blogging thing, but recently with my girlfriend heading to the other side of the World it would give me a way to keep in contact and keep my photography going after agreeing to deliver at least one image a day to accompany the words. Although thinking about it, I guess it also gives me a forum for writing too.



Mission accomplished :)

Well today I woke up with the strangest feeling, I simply felt that I didn't want to be here any more. I am not talking about "wish I was never born" scenario, more like I have accepted that my life is meant to continue somewhere else and at the moment feel a bit in limbo. Wish I had a fast forward button, but I guess we all do.

So today I decided to try and photograph this building near the gym Evelyn and I used to go together. It always interested me because of the red at night. It was bloody freezing and a challenge at night but I managed to get something done.

During my photographic exploits a strange thing happened. I once read "His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullman and the two characters at the end who are in love but cannot be together (and live in two different worlds) agree to meet visit a certain bench at a certain time in each of their respective words and that way they can kind of be together, which I really liked. Today I thought about this sentiment and it came to me as I pushed my eye towards the diopeter I suddenly felt that as I rolled through the familiar almost automatic setup for capturing a shot with my Nikon (most of my previous shooting involved Evelyn) that somewhere on the otherside of the World she was doing the same with her camera. In that exact moment I drew comfort from thinking that when I use my camera I can imagine this connection and it made me smile :)

So now I am back to all the preparation for getting myself to the other side of the World, where I can be where I belong, with Eve.
