Reboot ?

I have been bogged down in work for the last six months. Didn't seem to have the energy to really get on top of things. And so taking pictures fell by the wayside. At one point you simply let it go. There's no use in trying to save appearances. And so I didn't touch a camera, bought just one photo book ("Le Don" by Giorgia Fiorio) and hardly any photo gear (switched my Lumix LX3 for an Olympus E-420 with a 25/2.8 pancake lens) and sadly dropped of many of my photo friends' radar screens. I secretly hoped the long break would allow we to shed baggage and start with a clean slate. Well, it seems things are slowly picking up again. Last week I went to the exhibition "Leuven Anders" by two former club friends (Peter Mockers and Patrick De Baets). It was rather inspiring to see how well they had done. And this weekend Ann and I had planned a weekend away with just the two of us. I took the 5D for which I had a Canon 28mm/1.8 which I'd never used before. Whether this is the start of something new remains to be seen. I'm not seeing or feeling differently. The snaps are in my familiar style. We'll see.
