I recently started the process of moving some of the less photographic works from this account into a new one: photomangle I weeded out the portfolio a while back, but others have crept in since then, and I’d like to have a more coherent body of work here (insofar as that is possible with my collection!).
However, having said that, I have decided that it is time to spend much less unproductive time in all the places I inhabit on the interwebs (they don’t seem many, and I don’t do very much in each one, but the hours go by nonetheless). So, if I can be true to myself, and focus on more serious matters – and which I have sidelined for far too long – I shall be an infrequent visitor here and elsewhere for the foreseeable future. If I am weak-willed, then I’ll be hanging around like the proverbial bad smell.
I had promised myself that in January this year I would knuckle down to something that I started a couple of years ago, but which I have ignored for far too long. Well, I did start again today, so I’ve just made it before February is upon us, but it’s a pathetic performance for which I have no valid excuse. As from tomorrow, things will be different.
If you have read this far, shame on you – now go and do something worthwhile! Be good to each other while I’m gone.

Ha, well I did read it through Duncan. Do whatever makes life better for you – I wish you all the best, Polly :)
Duncan Waldron:
Thanks Polly. I must say, the break has been easier than I’d expected, and I honestly don’t feel like spending much time on the web now. Maybe I really will get things done!

Hi Duncan….
“weeds never die”….(so we say this in Spanish) and I know that you will be back..hope you will do what you want to do and find a a groovy work for ever and have time for your art and being here or there…sharing.
Hugs and good luck!!
Rosa (never shamed for having read this….!!)
Duncan Waldron:
Er… thanks, Rosa! A weed is just a flower where someone doesn’t want it to be :) At least I don’t have seeds with burrs ;-)
Soxy Fleming
well we’ll still be here, when you do want to come back…..some of the time at least. I don’t think the interwebs will vanish overnight. hope not anyway
Duncan Waldron:
Thanks Soxy. I’m even wondering whether I’m going to keep doing what little photography I do now – then sanity prevails, and I think of course I will.

Yeah!!!!
But as in anything , there is a Balck Legend. Weeds have it. And they have the right to exist in the veggie world. We dictaminate what is worth or not.
And if something or someon is not our likeness then…we create the Black Legend so we may justify our agressivity and prejudice.
In Spanish it is used as an ambivalent tender way of saying that we appreciate the toughness and resistance of someone. Weeds also appear unexpected and in any place….uncalled. And so for me there is an intense feeling of freedom there. I do wish you here. And….will miss you, Waldron.

Duncan Waldron:
Thankyou Rosa. What can I say?
