I have just finished writing a feature for an Italian magazine on the Spanish village where I used to live.<\/p>\n
Seems a little bizarre to me; a well-bred Milanese output of lit-print wanting the gen on a small village high in the mountains in Southern Spain, where the winter is so severe they celebrate New Year in August – because the village is usually snowed in for Christmas and New Year.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’ve been stuck on that feature for a few days; finally, this morning, I could read it and declare it finished. So it’s gone and I don’t want to pick up another piece of writing for a couple of hours because my head’s still full of that piece.<\/p>\n
Instead, I’m immersing myself in music and flicking through photographs as I listen.<\/p>\n
I used to be a real photo-nut. My Pentax SLR went everywhere with me. I was never much of a developer; I was content to spend ages waiting for the right shot, but mixing and fixing and washing and developing and all that stuff? Nah, not interested.<\/p>\n
These days I have a little digital non-SLR which has done what I wanted very nicely.<\/p>\n
Until we started shooting indoors much more; that’s when my current camera started to show what it couldn’t do very well.<\/p>\n
I suppose the logical transition is to a digital SLR but I’m wondering if it is actually *worth* it.<\/p>\n
Do you get the faint taste of indecision here? Now then, what else can I be indecisive about?<\/p>\n
Oh yes. Video editing software. Any clues? Not looking for much, something cheap and cheerful should do it (I hope).<\/p>\n
Right, it’s noon. I need to go and sit on a couple of horses.<\/p>\n
Later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
