Lately I've been preoccupied with life issues which have pulled me away from my creative side. Always amazes me just how quickly and fully reality rushes in to fill the vacuum left when creative pursuits are sidelined. It sometimes requires a very determined pushback to regain the balance of power. Tilting the playing field of my life away from the creative aspect to me is akin to sliding onto the thin ice part of the proverbial pond. Photography for me is not just a hobby but part of a lifestyle. It's one that sees me out exploring my world and separating myself, however briefly, from both convention and conventional thought. It's how I make sense of everything else. It's a very delicate balance. For now I'm just trying to avoid plunging into the black water that lies just below that veneer of ice.

'All Nippon 216' starting-up after completing pushback and almost ready to taxi for its flight back to Tokyo-Haneda. I love the atmosphere around this airplane and the beacon reflections on engines. [ANA216]
In aviation, pushback is an airport procedure during which an aircraft is pushed backwards away from its parking position, usually at an airport gate by external power. Pushbacks are carried out by special, low-profile vehicles called pushback tractors or tugs.
