About a month ago I mentioned how Ange and I had driven down to Wilson's Prom to celebrate new years. I'd snapped a few shots, but wasn't really happy with the results. Apart from an evening of photography for a work event, I hadn't touched my camera at all since we left Wilson's Prom. Thinking back on it, I why.

I was beginning to get very critical of my photography style around that time. After looking through the photos I took in the Prom nothing jumped out at me and it felt like I'd lost my spark. Fast forward to last weekend. My sister, Sarah was celebrating her 21st birthday, and asked me to act as official photographer. I was a bit worried about how my shots would turn out, based on my opinion of my new years work. But tonight, after going through the 120 odd shots, I'm actually really impressed with the work I did. So the break really did wonders.

It's probably a good thing I took that break as well. I was able to occupy the creative side of my brain with less visual stimuli. I finally finished off Brave New World and, even began writing down basic plot points for some story ideas I've got floating around in my brain.

This is also one of the reasons the site has been quiet of late. Even though Charles has been hanging out for the next installment of my random thoughts, in my head, it was either the site or my stories. Now that I have most of the plotting work done I'll try and keep this thing updated more often. I may even post some excerpts of my writing.

Hey, now there's an idea!
