Rainy Days

This is an image that I feel encapsulates my current photographic situation. If you follow my work you may (or may not) have noticed that my frequency of uploads has tailed off somewhat and that is down to a few things. The first one is time, time to get out with the camera, time to process and time to upload. Lack of time has been a big factor for me throughout the past year, so much so that I no longer have a dedicated website for my portfolio of images and felt it was a waste of money when I couldn't keep it current. I did however set up a blog site but even that is starting to suffer.

 

Secondly processing images is becoming a chore, this could be down to me doing more film photography, but the truth is my current PC has become frustrating to use and to upgrade would be expensive so I simply store the digital files in the hope that I will be able to process them at a later date and hopefully on a faster PC.

 

But all rainy days have to end, and this is no different. My iPhone has been getting some use, allowing me to be more creative with simple snapshots like above and instant processing. So all is not lost, I'm still creating images which is important, I'm even jotting down potential projects to work on in the future. The lack of time out in the field with my dslr hasn't all been bad, it's given me perspective and when photographic opportunities come along I grab them and make the most of them even if it's for an hour or two.

 

Anyone out there in a similar situation, just hang in there ;-)
