I found it difficult making the mental switch, feeling mostly like a bumbling beginner street photographer aimlessly shooting whatever looks mildly interesting in a desperate attempt to just bag ONE keeper.

As a long-time resident in the Middle East Gulf, our desert summers are pretty extreme in terms of high temperatures and uncomfortable, humid conditions. Only the bravest, and certifyable insane will venture out with their cameras, and then only to realise that it was a massive mistake - even in the dead of night. Summer is therfore usually the time to revisit my old photo stock and catching up on some overdue editing.

There are so many of my piers who simply excel at their blogging, which makes me wonder what I can possibly do to (at least) equal their efforts. There are an overwhelming number of brilliant technique, gear and other blogs / websites out there, who I don't really want to emulate or even try to compete with. Simply said, such blogs take a lot of effort, know-how and perseverance to put together, manage and market.
As an amateur photographer, novice blogger and regular bloke relying on a fairly demanding day job and lifestyle to support my street / travel photography passions, I'll probably be better off if this blog remains a simple extension of my website, focussing mainly on being a communication tool for what I'm busy working on, perhaps a some before-and-after processing posts, a place to post my thoughts, rants and raves, and sharing of interesting ideas and materials I come across from time to time. I've written a few "articles" before which I may also post here.
Anyway, hoping to keep this blog simple, unpretentious, casual, conversational and just a bit of fun. Given some time, it will turn into what it wants to be. If that is what you're looking for after a hard day at work, I look forward to your kind support and encouragement.
