Photo Friday - Shaking things up a little.

_MG_8585


I'm making a few changes for Photo Friday - as I am unable to shoot new material (some of the story can be found here and here) due to the effects of Guillain Barre syndrome and the outcome from the illness, peripheral neuropathy.  This means that the majority of nerves in my body are damaged and I have chronic fatigue/difficulty walking more than 200 metres at a time without a walking frame.  Being on medical leave for nearly a year helps a lot with the recovery but I have to move out of this "zone" I am in and install some sense of normality.

This means that I have no feeling in hands, fingers or limbs which makes taking photographs a challenge.  I have been informed by a number of specialists that the damage could last for a number of years but the physio and support from the neurologist help.

This does not necessarily mean that I have turned my back on photography but to liven things up here, I will be posting diverse materials from my archives and Flickr stream.  

Thank you all for sticking with me, there will be good times and new material to follow....one day.

Photo Friday....

Rose #2

It's coming close to the third year to the day since my mum died.  The events leading up to her passing were full of pain, confusion and unpleasantness.  But she was finally at rest.  The world can be a challenging space.  Just be kind to each other, avoid cruelty, bitterness and anger.  2020 has inflicted too much of that nonsense upon the world's population.
