Why has it gone so quiet?

Because it's been like Santa's workshop on Christmas Eve here, that's why! As of yesterday we've finally caught up after our six weddings in December and one on the first Saturday of the year. After tomorrow's in downtown Tunbridge Wells, though, that's it for four whole weeks. Well, sort of ...

We've got a lot of work to do on the website. The gear to get serviced. Our literature to re-write. The puter network to expand and update. Ann's admin system to improve still further. More ideas to try out with Art Prints. And loads more similar stuff.

We're trying to organise an intensive two-day workshop this summer with a seriously talented photojournalist we want to bring over from the States. We've been asked to give talks ourselves to fellow professionals in Norfolk and in Durham, and it looks like the Dan Johnson Photography Experience will also be Wessex bound before long. So we have to get our act together for those while we're not out shooting weddings and doing all the subsequent processing.

Then there's the meetings with potential clients. And all the usual routine admin. And Ann's new greenhouse to put together from an enormous carton full of interesting bits of aluminium and a bizarre collection of bad drawings and weird symbols that passes for The Instructions.

Hmmm. I'd better get on with it then ...
