Today (Saturday) Matthew I will be a
General Assistant or GA at work instead of a shopper. After a very difficult Friday it was nice to
having a normal day, sorry I do not mean normal I mean more relaxed, there is
no such thing as normal that is for sure.
Aside from work I also did a lot of reading the majority of which was
photography related. The reason for
munching through a lot of photography related books is that my photographic
journey is currently undergoing a change.
I think I have said it before but the “Keep
it simple” philosophy I have adopted is even been applied to my photography and
I have started to educate myself on how best to approach the change and what I
need to do. My website has already under
gone a few small changes and I am now seriously giving thought to what projects
I want to involve myself in aside from completing my NYIP photographic course
that is. I have been treating the sale
of my camera gear as a bit of a negative but over the last few days with all
that has gone on I have turned it around into a positive.
I have to admit I still feel numb thanks to
the events of last week but I have started to draw strength from it and I am turning
it all around into a positive. I still
feel very angry that the fact I have expressed myself in this blog means I have
had watch certain doors close that were once open. For sure I respect the reasoning behind it
and it has helped me decided on where things are going if more doors are
closed. I have gained a very healthy
respect for my second home this week, the home that is Sainsbury’s.
The retail industry is a very different
beast to the one I spent most of my working career in, IT. It is totally different in just about
every way possible and for the most in a very positive way. I am not sure whether I have been bitten by
the service industry and or retail bug, I am not sure they are one and the same
but they are closely related for sure.
Despite all the issues I have faced I still get a buzz out of being at
work. I have only been in the retail
industry for 10 months but in that time I have experienced and learnt so much
and a lot of it new to me.
This chap has learnt some very hard lessons
but he is going to put them in to practice from now on, grow a pair, hell no I
have grown a tree full.
I do have some exciting news with regard to
this blog too, no it is not going away but it will be moving. I have found a new host and obtained a
website address and I am currently building a new site. I am currently drawing up a design and
drafting a site and pondering whether to import this blog in its entirety or
just provide a reference point to it.
Not sure how long it is going to take but I will let you know when it is
moved.
Another part of keeping is simple and
applying lessons learnt but things will not change to much, This chap needs his blog just as much as I
need my photography, the love of my life and friends.
Today was also the 16th birthday
of one of my daughters, a very special lady and I am proud to have been there
when she came into this world. I am
proud of all my kids, they touch this world we live in with their own personal
magic and signature and they should be proud of that. I am very proud of them.
Well I have gone off enough for now; I have
a new blog to design and the news to catch up on.
