Life is undergoing a few changes … most at my wanting. I have made a few New Years Resolutions this year and I intend to stick to them. Some of these are taking up some time.

Although not a resolution I am reducing my online time and presence. Those who have my email address are encouraged to use it if and when they wish.

I of course intend on seeing through my self portrait project to its completion in August. It’s been hard work recently but I will finish it.

So to sum up, thanks for reading, keep your RSS readers pointed to the site as I will occasionally update it. But for now … out.

Happy New Year.

I hope your 2008 is all you want it to be. For me it is going to involve a lot of changes. Changes I both want and need to make. Whatever you decide to do … do it to the best of your ability.

I’d like to take a minute to thank a few people for a few things.

Mum and David for providing a roof over my head and food in my stomach without asking for a cent in return.

Matthew for loving me just as mch as when his mother and I were together.

My family and friends for encouraging me to follow my photographic dreams.

Those who have trusted my abilities enough to have paid me to take photos of and for them.

I thnak the readers of my blog (and there are a LOT of you) for inspiring me to put my thoughts to paper so to speak.

Lastly but by no means Lucy for being who you are and for loving who I am although I know at times it goes against your wishes. You have made me a better man in the short time I have known you and I have never been happier. Your smile warms the heart and advice soothes the often turbulent paths of my life. Because of you I am striving to be a better person in 2008 and beyond. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to Matthew. He loves being around you and talks about you and Jake whenever you are not around. Thank you for feeding me and all the healthy eating and living advice. I assure you I am listening.

Have a great New Years Eve and make sure what ever you do you get home safley so we can all begin 2008 together.

I look forward to catching up with as many of you as I can as soon as possible.

Richard

Back soon.

I forgot the race was even on to be honest.

Hope you all went well in various sweeps and/or wages.

Maidstone Street, Ringwood East and Ringwood-Warrandyte Road, Warrandyte South.

As I type this I am on the side of the road, killing time online thanks to the above mentioned second unsecured wireless access point. I just looked up into the eyes of a cow. Yes a real cow.

My drums are all set up at tonights location (and the band isn’t even supposed to arrive for an hour) so I thought I’d touch base with you guys.

My tomorrow just got a little worse. As well as playing two separate concerts in three different uniforms, any downtime I had during the day is now being taken up with photography duties for the regiment.

Thank you for your email.

I can assure you that any  appearance of L in written or photographic form is done so at the full knowledge and consent of said person. In fact L often edits my work to avoid me mentioning her bizarre rubber obsession …

Woops … That’s going to come back and bite me in the butt.  Luckily she’s in New Zealand at the moment and I don’t think they have discovered the internet yet. I’m safe for a couple of days.

I just looked at my watch and noticed it was 12.00. Midday? Already??

It’s not as I have been sitting on my butt doing nothing here, but … 12.00???

I’ve had a few goes at the self portrait for the day but nothing has grabbed me yet. Got some things going through my mind as well which I need to nail down and address. It’s going to be one of those days I guess.

12.11 and I’m rambling.
