Daffodils...and the dentists

They defeat me...they just do.   There is something about these damn flowers that doesn't work out.  As I said yesterday I just can't get them.   So how to make the photograph?   The cliche is yellow on blue, well I think it is.   This year I have tried to go beyond this to examine the shape rather than form.  What the hell does this mean?   At moment what it means is that I am not concerned with sharpness but with the essence of the flower.   What is the essence of the flower?  At the moment I am trying to work that one out as well.   Oh you cursed flower!

Now for more positive news. The fillings went well and am now recovering from the dentists.  I have to say that my dentists is a real treat.  She is kind and considerate and we always end up having a laugh, this time about the clock changes that are coming.  She was right and I was wrong.   As she worked in my mouth I can watch a DVD, in this case about the wild Arctic.  Whilst this helped I still found myself clenching my hands tightly.  Are well this should be the last time I have some work done for a while.   Thank the lord for that!

Dentist Chair

Well wish me luck I am off to the dentist.  Lets hope it is not too painful.

Creative Juices Start to Flow

Slowly I have started to make more photographs.  Over the past few weeks this has been in short supply. However this does appear to be changing and I feel a whole lot better for that.

This revelation, if that is what it is, may come as a bit of a shock to people who know me but it is true.  My output has shrunk to a trickle but now I am able to concentrate on making photographs that I want to - without having to try and produce some photographs for the course.  I suspect that this has been responsible for the release I am feeling - lets hope so as this should be a good sign.

Tomorrow promises to be a bit of an ordeal, only a bit.  I have to have some fillings replaced and so will feel numb after that.  I have a wonderful dentist but it always fills my with a little bit of apprehension walking into the surgery.   I'm sure it will be nothing as bad as I fear.
