The summer job I am working, mentioned a couple of posts ago, drags on, and with the peak of the season imminent I am not looking forward to the rest of it one bit. Trying to juggle the creative with the mundane is admittedly a struggle but I am doing my best to keep a hand in with everything so as not to have to start from scratch again when the time comes in early November.
The music aspect is surviving relatively well but the photography is suffering badly. I am losing the edge somewhat, even when I do get the urge to go out with my camera. I decide to visit a local park for some cricket photography, just for something to shoot. It isn't, by any stretch of the imagination, a fast game, so I should be able to get something, even this far out of practise. The sad fact is that my heart isn't in it, and I only stay for one innings before packing up and cycling home. Out of the hundred or so frames I take only two are useable (above).
Oh, dear me.
