a shadow has fallen over the photography...five days ago slipped on wet tarmac while out with the camera...it turns out the hard fall caused a broken leg, specifically the tibia (shinbone), and badly strained calf muscles too...after surgery the left leg is now in a mean looking brace, and no weight can be put on that leg for at least six weeks...this should seriously impede photo taking for quite a while...will try to participate on pbase when I can...the more immediate challenge is how to function using crutches and a walker...maybe will have to start on a still life series, as getting around outdoors is now very difficult, and both hands are tied up just keeping balance
