ManFlu, life and the universe...


I've just spent £16 on a packet of Day+Night nurse, two boxes of Nurofen+ and a coffee... I went to meet some friends on Saturday for a quick coffee, his wife had flu and has had it for a week, I think I caught it... all in that short space of time and no, I didn't kiss her!... So, I've never had flu where I'm kept awake all night because my throat is so sore, bit odd really.

In other news, my xray came back (of my back) and I'm fine, that's good...

DPS is my main squeeze right now, that and the remainder of my threesixtyfive, I've decided to stick most of my efforts in at work and get on with that - so that's a load off.

DPS, it's about 22000 people all wanting to either learn, impart or make up knowledge based around photography, which as you'll all know is my "hobby" I don't know that you could call it a hobby anymore, but, well... that's really what it is until I actually make any money from it.

I have a few loose ideas about making money from Photography, but they're all so very low yeild... we shall see I guess.

I'm after a stand, a brolly and some bits and pieces for my flash setup... I'm thinking of getting the following - unless someone would suggest otherwise....

CalumetPhoto - London

1 x Calumet umbrella adapter with hot shoe

1 x Calumet HotShoe to Pc adapter
1 x Calumet 10' Light Stand
1 x Calumet 45" umbrella silver / white with removeable black cover
1 x 5mtr PC sync extension cable - Lydia at Calumet is calling me back...

So, I think this will work, for now... It all adds up to about £100... that will work for now... I guess...

Means I can get both speedlights off camera, using one for subject and one for background etc.. Should be fun!... Now I just need a background... Black sheet? Thoughts?

Need to rest, laters...

I've just had a cold... in before all the other classmates. But who's sneezing now, eh? ;)

as for the background... black/white backdrop, or a wall!
