Another long delay

Back on the course after another long delay. I've been spending the past few months preparing for the art show in the village where I've been exhibiting my work 'old and new', a collection of old photographs of the village combined with my new shots taken from the same viewpoint.
The show went OK, and I sold a number of pieces of work, but mainly the old photo's - people didn't generally see the interest in the new shots. I never did see the new shots as being particularly photogenic - the village 100 years ago was very much a working village and neatly kept, whereas now its a largely a commuter village and the style seems to have become one of 'leave nature alone', which results in the place getting somewhat overgrown! I guess the new photo's will be appreciated in the years to come. For now I'll probably donate them to the county records office.
All of this has mean't that I haven't had much time for the course. Hopefully that's about to change. Partly with the challenge of a new assignment and partly as I reach the end of the course and have the opportunity to bring together what I've learned in work that is hopefully more artistic.

Images to follow tomorrow.
