Wow I haven’t posted in over 2 months! Even my friends are bugging me about my lack of blogging…crazy! This must be the longest blogging break I’ve ever had in my 5 years of blogging life. Life has been keeping busy lately and sometimes when it’s late at night it’s rather hard to sit in front of the computer and blog when the gf is waiting in bed ready to share body heat.
Let’s see, what’s new?
Photography is going pretty well. I’ve been shooting lots portraits and slowly improving my skills. I really enjoy working with the subject in producing pictures that reflect his/her personalities. Looking around pictures on the internet I think I definitely have a long way to go still. But hey having a goal to aim for is always important right?
Last month I was on a 2 week whirlwind tour in the UK with my family. I’ve been to London and Edinburgh 6 years ago and it was interesting going back to somewhere you’ve been before. It was neat to walk around without a map and knowing what you’ll encounter. Walking around in London and Edinburgh brought back lots memories. We started our trip in Bath, then headed to Penzance, spent the majority of the time in London, did some side tours to Canterbury and Straford upon Avon, made our way up to Edinburgh, down to York, and finally back to London. My favourite place was Edinburgh. There’s just something magical about this Scottish city. Canterbury and York were very neat since they are both medieval cities. I sure didn’t know the Romans and Vikings lived in York back in the day! I ended up taking 16GB worth of pictures which corresponds to about 1000 pictures since I was shooting in RAW format. Needless to say I’m very backlogged in terms of editing my pictures…
The only disappointment the last 2 months is that I haven’t been heading out to the mountains as much as I’d like. This season was rather disappointing in terms of skiing. I only managed to get out on the skis for 23 days. The majority of them were spent in the backcountry which is something to be happy about I suppose. I’m now looking around for a new pair of fat skis. Hopefully I’ll find something before the start of the next skiing season. In the mean time I’m trying to head out climbing as much as possible and wait for the scrambling season to start. There is still lots snow up in the alpine. I guess if I want to rack in more days on skis I could always head out for a few days of skiing. Yes it is possible to ski in June! Heck you can still ski in August if you try really really hard.
I’ll end the post with some pictures I took the last 2 months. Back to the blog bandwagon? We’ll see about that.
