After a serious illness about ten years ago, I made a few changes. We moved into a bigger house, which increased our outgoings, I left my job and did a full-time degree course in English literature, which reduced my income, and sent two of my children to an expensive school. You can't take it with you, right? I don't regret any of this, but of course in the end our financial recklessness came home to roost. A few years ago we had to tighten our belts hugely. In order to pay bills and debts, we had to sell everything we could: Books, guitars, TVs, and of course my camera. All of which is a verbose way of explaining why I haven't posted any photos on the blog since October 2010. Now I have a new camera, so a few weeks ago Sophie, my daughter, and I went out to photograph light trails. Here's one of the resulting images.
