So I’m now back in the office after my recent week away in Phoenix attending a photography convention. The weather over there was fantastic and it was so lovely to sit out in the sunshine in between seminars. I’ll post some pictures from the trip soon, but as I’ve come down with a nasty cold bug since getting home (horrible British weather!) I’ve not yet got round to processing my images yet!
Ok, so I totally stole this from another photographer’s blog but I wanted to post something as I’ve been away for a week and haven’t posted anything in a while. So the deal is that you copy this list and bold out all the things that you’ve actually done, so here’s my list…
