Hello everyone!
I’ve been AFK for a couple of months now… things all got a bit too much and I bit off more than I could chew with trying to manage 3 different publications and my website and manage work and have a social life and manage family life… you can see where this is going. I was starting to burn out.
I’ve taken a few moments to reset, pare everything back, decide what my priorities should be and how best I can continue to inform, entertain, exhibit and generally keep in touch with you all and I think I’ve found a good balance.
This newsletter is going to be a lot more personal, freeform and less article based, more of a diary than a blog, and it’ll show you the things I’ve been up to every couple of weeks.
For now, thank you for your patience, welcome back, and I’m glad to be back here again!
Cheers,
Mike
Some photography from our family holiday to Barcelona:
A little bit of writing on photography and burnout, and managing it all…
And a whole load of photography equipment I’m selling on eBay, in part because of the burnout:
CONTAX G Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 90mm f2.8 Lens for G1 G2 G Mount + accessories
Genuine OLYMPUS 14N Ever Ready Camera Case for OM series 35mm film cameras Tan
Ultra rare Fujica GL system Auto Close Up Lens Rangefinder coupled excellent
Rollei F&H Grid Focusing Screen for Rolleiflex 2.8F 3.5F T 2.8E 3.5E camera

That’s it for now, see you next time!
Cheers, Mike
Prioritizing yourself first is all that matters, Michael. Good to hear you're back. Hope you enjoyed Barcelona, love the photos!
Sorry to hear you’ve been having such a bad time of it! Hope Barcelona helped to soothe the soul. I know all those angles you’ve shot, I have some of them in my archives too. The B&W is really effective. Take care and give yourself time.
