I’m not really going to talk about Steve, who he was, and why he was a special friend (no, not in that way). You might also think it a little macabre that I’m writing to someone who’s been gone these 23 years. In reality he is just a mechanism. But I think he would have enjoyed the letters.
But i wanted to give a little background to the next letter, No. IV due next Sunday.
I’m really quite surprised at how much research effort this one has triggered. A lot of digging (you’ll find out just how appropriate that is when it’s published). But I’ve learnt a fair bit about what is going on, and I hope it will make for an interesting read.
On an entirely different note, I’m pleased to say that I am actually beginning to enjoy using my Nikon. It’s sad really, it has been sat, mostly unused for the last ten years, mainly because I didn’t have the right lens on it. Now, it’s getting to the point where it is with me quite a bit. Not quite as much as the phone, but if I’m out and I have my bag with me, then the camera is there,, and I proved on Monday that I can take a picture with it that I prefer to the equivalent picture that I took with the phone/. I’m eager to have another go.
