rough 2 months

This past couple months have been pretty rough, I've had really bad luck.

First I sprained my ankle pretty bad, so far I've had 9 physiotherapy sessions trying to improve the fnctioning, and repair the damage. Right now it's pretty good. I haven't felt the need to wear my ankle brace in a couple weeks.

Not too long after that (around the 1st of June) I had an accident in my Jeep. The truck ahead of me stopped very suddenly, and I was unable to stop my vehicle before hitting him. Then the person behind me struck the back corner of my vehicle. It's been a bad scene, as the fault is automatically mine since I was too close to the truck. The Jeep is pretty much wrote off, and we're trying to sell if for parts.

Then last week I went home for my sister Breannes High School graduation. I was supposed to be the family photographer, but was sidelined when I threw my back out just minutes before her graduation. It's almost a week later and I'm still suffering...

In between all that there were several bouts of illness (colds/flus whatever I never saw a doctor about it)

So I really wanted to enjoy this summer, but now it's kind of hard. Maybe things will pick up. I'm still snapping away with my camera, and loving this pasttime.

I'd hope to do some hiking this summer, but with a bad back and bad ankle, walking into the wilderness would seem to be a bad proposition for me, and any acompanying friends.

So I'm excited to do a calendar of my photography for 2006 as a Christmas gift for most of the people on my Christmas list. I figure for family I'll include all the birthdays etc.

I'd love to find a way to make money with my photography, I see others with books. and prints. I like to think that my work is as good, or better (in rare cases) as a lot of what I see on the shelves.

Well, this is long winded (and highly overdue I suppose) so I'll cut off here.

Enjoy Summer,

Jonathan
