A final note to say goodbye to everyone here on DA, I've officially moved on and won't be renewing my subscription in the new year!!  Since my last journal entry in August, I've stopped past only a few times - although the people here are great, I simply don't have the time to keep all these online portals and "communities" up to date!

So, now I'm only updating one place, my website - check out the latest news and images at [link]

Thanks to everyone who supported me with watches and comments, I really appreciate it.  There were times when I really wasn't that interested in even bothering to shoot, and DA always managed to shake me up and get me moving again.  All the best to everyone I've watched and admired, you helped set some of the direction for my work, and inspired me to try that little bit harder and aim for your dizzying heights!!

As Helmut Newton once said, "the first 10000 shots are the worst" - I cleared 10000 a long time ago, and I'm still practising.  So I think I'll end my time at DA with an Ansel Adams line I like saying to people - "There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs."
