Ernst Haas, 1985.
It's not proved to be an easy year. Aging is providing some 'interesting' health issues (nothing fatal or debilitating, thankfully, but certainly noticeable in the day to day), and commencing my third year on a small, part-time income certainly brings its challenges, but these hardships have been matched with some truly wonderful moments, a few of which I've shared with you here.
The good news is that, in spite of the troubles life brings, it looks as though 2014 will also allow a gleaning of some equally special days - a few projects are already presenting themselves as possible opportunities for more creative work, so I'm relishing the thought of being there to participate in these.
Let me finish with a few visual reminders here (above) of the photographic joys of the last 12 months, and an invitation to share the work of a wonderful photographic artist recently discovered:
May this Christmas bring you a period of knowing, amidst the dark streets of our world, one has come who is the light, and because of this, there is genuine peace and goodwill.
