Sometimes things happen that turn everything completely upside down. One moment everything is fine and the next everything collapses.

One of our dogs and my long-time companion were diagnosed with cancer last week during a routine check-up. Unfortunately, it is so advanced that nothing more can be done. He's still doing quite well, but it's a question of time and it won't be very long now. We're probably only talking about weeks or, if things go well, a few months. I can't begin to describe how this diagnosis hit us last week and has had us firmly in its grip ever since. At the moment we are endeavouring to give him the best time of his life.

This photo was taken two days ago on one of our now really intensive walks.

This was as close as I could get before it flew off. Had all the wrong settings on the camera but hey ho, hopefully get it again soon :)

Adapting my Canon fd 50mm f/1.8 to Olympus Pen-F for fun. Actually impressed how sharp this come out. Just shadows/highlights altered and straight out of camera.

Have to love focus peaking :)

If this image appears to be low-res, it's because it is. I specifically made the trip to France as a creativity challenge to myself and managed to capture some beautiful images that I will be posting gradually.

Unfortunately, the edited pictures were all on my Phone, which died unexpectedly yesterday and probably needs a factory reset that will delete all data including my hard worked pictures.

I was able to retrieve some of the shots from my already posted images from Flickr and from samples I sent to friends on WhatsApp as HD files (they're really not). I also have pictures the shots that I took later on in Lyon, Strasbourg, Annecy and Colmar still on my SD card as I was saving them for later.

However, this is a harsh yet humbling reminder that backing up our work should be a priority in front of everything else.

This was an expensive trip that I planned for weeks and I was so thrilled with the work I was able to produce, especially as I was travelling alone and was thus able to focus more on composition and ideas. However, most of these efforts were spoiled by negligence on my part. Many of my shots may be forever lost. The ones that remained are mostly in low resolution, though they at least provide some relief.

Through the eye of a needle.

With the Covid-19 lockdown and only having limited time being allowed outside for exercise, I've decided to start a project 'Covid Lockdown Hometown Diary'.

I like the damage to the wood which gives the impression the dog did it :)
