The lack of postings here and a general unresponsiveness to email is what several people have pointed out to me recently. Well, needless to say there is only one person to blame: our little Theobald. In a nice way of course. Add to that being busy at work, my endless first-class business travels (not) and it is easy to see that there seems absolutely no time to sit in front of the computer and write emails and blog entries. In fact, it seems the wrong priority.

After a fair amount of thinking I am starting a “reclaim the time” project. I think it would be a shame to miss out on certain things like staying in touch with people and I need to explore whether or not there is a potential solution to reclaim this somehow, even at some monetary cost.

As a first step I bought an iBook. Absolutely gorgeous piece of equipment it is! My plan is to use it on train journeys into work. Two potential hours waiting to be reclaimed. Since I have changed my commuting route, I have a seat on the train every morning. So I thought I could use a laptop to catch up with emails and other things. In fact, I am typing this on the train right now.

What will be a lot harder is to reclaim time for photography. I haven’t had time to do anything for months, again it is all related to Mr T. While I get around to some shooting and have a dozen of films waiting to be processed, I simply cannot imagine sitting in front of the computer and scanning, editing them as I used to do. I even found my thoughts straying into the land of digital the other day. Let’s see how I can tackle this, but I don’t want to wait to continue picture-taking when I am retired. That would be a real shame.
