The season of frenzied activity and the inevitable compressed deadlines has come and gone, leaving some time to reflect over the past year's events, thoughts and directions...

And over the next months my thoughts look to some new directions...
Perhaps high up on the list...

I have 'GAS' (a common male photography problem known as 'gear acquisition syndrome')
The continued debate, film and/ or digital? (Please see above!)
Digital Leica, (still not cheap enough, and 'cheap' being a relative word) or digital Nikon, (more practical perhaps but how much computing power and weight do you want to carry around) (Again see above!)

And last and most important and before I get lost in own 'personal gas',
Where do I want to take my photography?

First, images from this past fall, 'My red period'
