Just to say I really appreciate the favourites and additions to collections; I can't reply to everyone. I am finding it difficult enough to add new material (one big reason why nothing appeared for so long) - so if I do add new stuff, keeping up with every piece of resultant activity is impossible.

I am grateful to be able to see what I photo, to take the photos and handle the photos. I am delighted to be here on DA and sharing them - so please take my gratitude as given even if not expressly articulated on every count.

Thanks Barefoot Tiger.

Any fans of Tim Burton out there may well be excited to see some stills from his take on this classic due out next year; seven pics on The Daily Telegraph website here: [link]

Now perched in a beautiful home of my dear friend in North Carolina.

Just about recovering from jetlag. Nothing quite prepared me for how it can feel - absolutely weird or what. Strange and frightening at times.

Hopefully get around to some sightseeing soon - have mainly been visiting friends and family thus far. Tomorrow I should be over the tiredness and then can get on with my my time here seeing places with my friend.

Have started to upload some photos from my time here so far... more to follow.
