Hi everyone,
I hope you are all well.

As per usual, a big thank you for the recent

's, comments, and to anyone who has added me to their

. My message centre has got a bit full, and I'm a bit behind in replying. I'll try and catch up ASAP.

Been out shooting a fair amount with my Mamiya, recently. I'm really getting into the swing of using the camera, and I'm getting much more confident in using the Sekonic handheld meter I got a while back. I still sometimes use my digital camera's histogram to confirm a reading if I'm unsure and I really want the pic to work, but I'm doing my best to stop that habit. I've produced some work that I'm really quite happy with, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it up here any time soon, as my scanner just doesn't want to capture the slides in their full contrast range, which is annoying. Ideally, I'm wanting to upgrade both my scanner and printer at the moment, as I'm wanting to sell my images through my website, and perhaps in local resteraunts etc. The print quality from DA is great, but I'm not exactly raking it in from print sales here, and when I do sell something, the highwaymen that run this place take most of the profit.
Ideally, I'm wanting to upgrade my scanner to something like an Epson V750, and to get a pigment ink printer, like a Canon 9500. If anyone knows of any bodies in the UK that can help with equipment costs towards starting a small business, I'd be greatly obliged if you could hit me up with details.

Otherwise, I'm just keeping myself busy. Been flying my kite that I got for my birthday at any given opportunity. There have been some strong winds here over the last few weeks (though this week is remarkably calm... which is no bad thing), so I'm getting loads of practise. I've been truly bitten by the kite flying bug, as though I'm very happy with the 1.2m kite that I have, I'd love to get a bigger one at some point.
My sister also got married in the middle of September. I was on ushering duties alongside my brother, and an immensely good time was had by all. It's actually the first wedding I've ever been to, and even if I do say so myself, it was mervellous; it really set the bar for any future events I attend. I only took one or two photos as I just wanted to enjoy myself, rather than running around taking pictures all the time.
Anyhoo, enough blethering. If anyone can help with the request above, that would be awesome. And although I get tuppence for it, if you've ever fancied buying a print of mine, I wouldn't be offended if you bought one just now...I need all of the money I can get!
Enjoy the thumbs, and take care of yourselves.
Peace, Love & Happiness,
Michael.

DEVIANTART! Nowhere will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villany...we must be cautious.
Maybe all men got one big soul that everyone's a part of. All faces are the same man....one big self.
