Treadmill

I feel like I've been on one recently. I spent most of the weekend feeling a strange mixture of, tired, relaxed, busy and slightly depressed?! Don't know why, I suspect I am fed up of the daily grind and wish I had more time to do my creative shit. It's so hard to find the time to do it all, and as much as the imminent birth of little Elis fills me with joy and excitement, I know I will have to sacrifice 99% of the stuff that I want to do with my time.

As for my constant tiredness, I think it is due to burning the candle at both ends. I constantly have only 5-6 hours sleep a night and I'm sure my body just doesn't know how to handle proper relaxing and sleep. It's gone on all my life. I have always been a night person. I work best between 12 + 4 in the morning. That plays havoc with sleeping patterns though. I try to revert to that at weekend and it fucks me up for the rest of the week. I never learn. I'm sure that's partly why I feel so down recently.

Anyway, I will stop moaning at you. Over the weekend I spent a bit of time back in the darkroom - several prints later and the quality of the original prints is still disappointing. I have scanned them all in to my PC and will be working on them over the week - improving levels, contrast and removing dust. Here are the first couple I have done. One day I will have to show you a before and after, the difference is surprising!

These two photos are both from the shots I took at Ogmore ages ago... I will post the rest as I finish them.
