I went into hospital yesterday for a minor procedure under general anaesthetic. I came out yesterday afternoon feeling woozy so thought it better that I didn’t go into work.

As a result this morning I’m dealing with accumulated emails,  tender documents (and tender bits of me), and picture sales when suddenly I notice that two of the image sales made so far this morning are photographs taken by me!

Now I may run a picture library, but I am not a photographer. I am a man with a camera, and not a great camera at that. My photos are adequate, but I am fully aware I don’t have the photographer’s eye. It’s like music or sport — you have it or you don’t. If you don’t, you can work on it and improve, but you’ll never be a Linda Wright, Lang Lang or Shane Williams. They started good and worked hard on getting even better. All I could do was make my photographs correctly exposed and straight and level. Then the answer is to photograph things people want to buy.

So two sales made before 11:30. Who know what the rest of the day may bring?

Or maybe they’d heard about my op and were taking pity on me?
