Yes, but I will move in the summer I think

Ah, How come? Do you have any idea where you might go?

I think I have enough of Bournemouth now, had 5 nice years here though

No, absolutely no clue, I could end up anywhere

Ah fair enough! It's impressive to me that you lasted that long.. I'm always on the move somewhere.

Sounds like fun... Are there options to move with work or are you just looking for something fresh?

Bournemouth is beautiful and when you have nice people around you then it's really not that hard

Btw do you remember when you met on the street? lol

nah work is probably the primary reason why I have to move! I think I need something new otherwise I will be stuck in a rut for ever!!

haha yeah I absolutely remember that. I think I figured it had to be you since there's not many guys in Bournemouth who look that way
It was years ago and I feel like I should apologize for how awkward I am...

Ah right . That sucks. I had the same problem a couple of years back, but moving and getting something else to do really helped!

I don't think you were akward at all! I must have been though as you caught me totally unawares!

Yeah that's what I am hoping for!

haha I don't remember you being awkward, just a little surprised.. which is to be expected, really.
My sister still lives in Bournemouth and I'm there a few times a year.

Yeah, hopefully it does the trick! Getting stuck in a rut is the most frustrating thing I've experienced...

Are you still doing photography at gigs? I saw some of your photos on your flickr, they look really good I think

Yes and no. I still take my camera along most of the time, and I do some things very occasionally for friends of mine but I'm not really doing it so much anymore.
I have stacks of photos from the last 2-3 years of gigs that I've not sorted through or shared anywhere. I really loved doing it but I started to get frustrated by it

Thank you so much, though. It does make me happy to hear that people like them

A change of (locational) perspective definatly changes with ruts. definatly helped me several times aswell

It takes more than months of inactivity to get rid of us. <3.

why?

A few reasons. Mostly down to not feeling good enough. I know some very talented photographers and I essentially got stuck feeling that way and slowly feeling worse, so I half gave up.

Plus, I had planned to invest in better kit and actually learn how to do it properly, but life got in the way and I didn't have the cash.

I might get some more out there in future though. I did just sign up to review/photo for a website which might result in a few passes, so there could be some more soon! (I'm just waiting for an assignment I like to come along before I take on anything haha)
