DELUSIONS OF CONTROL

Notes from my mental bunker:

May 2011

I could say that yes, I've been slack - but that's actually not true, I've just been very busy. Which has meant that I haven't always been able to give to my friends the time they deserve, and for that I apologise.

Among other things, I'm still going through the Nullarbor caving photos from last year. Sometimes I regret not doing any in-camera processing, but I prefer the control that photoshop gives me, even if it does chew up time (the results are better for it). It's also something 'mechanical' I can do when I'm too tired to work on my novel.

There will be some restructuring going on soon, as I take back the Emerald Images business name (my father's company has been 'looking after' it for me) and split the site into a semi-commercial art/design and technical writing business side and what will effectively be a personal photo gallery for my canyoning/caving and eclipse trips. I haven't quite decided how it is all going to look yet, but there has been plenty of sketching happening, and it will need to be as efficient as possible. But this is still a couple of months away, as some technical issues with regards to hosting and internet access have yet to be sorted out.
