2022 – Cricket Metaphors Best Avoided

Here we are again at the end of another trip round the closest nearly perfect ball of hot plasma heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion at it’s core.
This one marked such a special number of such circumambulations that it filled me in near equal measures with morbid dread & teeth gritting determination.
It was made up, like all the other such journeys I’ve been on as one of 8 billion passengers on this 40,000km circumference ellipsoid 70% covered in water, of the usual ups, downs and bumps in the road.

I’m deliberately leaving out work stuff this year, there were jobs for Museums, The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, Trinity College Cambridge, Kickstarter Campaigns, Film and After Effects work for short films, an American adventure as DOP on a feature documentary to name a few but so much of it I’m not allowed to show here so…….

Here is a personal photo/video or 2 from each month, something I can use as a memory aid when my faculties slip even further.

January

@documentally featured heavily this year (as in previous ones) so best to start as we mean to go on

February

I visited a dear old friend (who will HATE this photo) I hadn’t seen for nearly 20 years, we watched some footage (bits shot by me) of us in India from 1999. She was still suffering from some of the worst long Covid symptoms of anyone I know.
Miss Sparkle, I love you as much now as I did then.
