Where Did I Go?
Nowhere. I've been here. So why haven't I been posting photos? Because I haven't been taking any. Why not? A mixture in part of the following things:
Point the First.
I embraced photography with a passion that surpassed the ability of my technological appliances. In brief: my hard drive is full. Used up. No more space. I started burning them onto CD's and deleting them from my computer in order to create more room, but as someone who almost lost their house to fire, I'm really uneasy having all my memories on random disks, floating around the house. An external hard-drive with hundreds of gigabytes of storage would be ideal, but isn't financially viable at this point. Then I considered uploading them all to Flickr, but point two, put at stop to that;
Point the Second.
Internet Connection and Bandwidth Issues. Unfortunately, as we live in a remote area, we can only access broadband via satellite. And there is only one company that provides it here. And that company is fully aware of that fact, and so they are little concerned when we complain that our bandwidth, which should be 1500/512, struggles to reach the equivalent of dial up speed and our server disconnects several times a day. The last photos that I uploaded, of my kaleido-swap gifts, took over an hour to upload. It's an infuriatingly slow process, and I just don't have the time or patience for it right now.
Point the third. '
I learned that the headaches were just a symptom of something bigger. I'm okay now, but I wasn't for a while. And I might not be again if the future. I don't mean to be all mysterious about it, sorry. Bottom line for now: I'll live.
Photos to follow.
