Too many fingers in too many pies, all a little bit linked, and not quite enough time to do all of them as well as I’d like. I’ve got a music blog, writing about Brighton Bands, which I’ve been doing for about six years, but I don’t have half as much time as I used to to write it, and it just feels like hard work a lot of the time.
Part of the reason for starting it was to do more photography, and that goes quite well. I’ll take my camera along to gigs and be happy with the shots I take, and last year I bought myself a medium format film camera and started a project to shoot bands for the blog. That’s going like a dream - the camera is incredible and I’m really proud of the photos it takes:
Then there’s the music thing, which I really don’t have any time for - maybe an hour or two a week if I’m lucky? That’s going OK, and in a funny way, not having much time to work on things means that the ideas stew for a bit longer in my head and are more fully formed when they come out.
