a long time ago I actually made a (meagre) living from photography. But then I suddenly had a complete change of everythig in my life (& sold all my gear and darkroom) and since had a gap from photography for nearly 2' years.
I always told myself .. one day I'l get a Leica; by the time I could afford it they were reduced to expensive paper wheights, and hey presto the magic of the filmless film had arrived.
So now it's a hobby but I keep thinking 'hey - I used to be much better at this!" and can 't understand wheter I just had more energy back then or more brains too. Anyway I find it really hard to get my head round the digital plethora-highway of apps. and myriad ways of doing any one thing. It's all good, but my head hurts often and I go crosseyed making dumb mistakes on the most simpe of tasks , then spomeone explains it all to me very patiently and - zap - it goes out of my brain and I can't rmeember what it was I was supposed to do and do the same damn stoopid things again. I seem to have no retentivememory for matters digital
How I got an HND in multimedia I will never know , somehow I managed it, and my hope was that Id find things lie LR easier , well there wasn't LR then , but my thinking was that if i can get my head round a 3D program I can handle anyting after that. What baffles me is ho peple undertsnad LR without having done any of that stuff, maybe it would simply have been utterly impossible for me if I hadn't , indyead of difficult.. ach well.
So.. I persevere in te hope that repetition will eventually ingrain the necessary on my stone of a memeroy chip
