It wasn't; but the impressions lingered, corroded and became part of my visual identity, something which hadn't been a noticed part of it before. Also, digital became available as a no-further-costs recording option that certainly encouraged me to shoot new stuff on which I would never have spent my own money.
That done, lessons learned, I'm pretty much back where I was, waiting for my photographic Godot. Perhaps, more accurately: Godotte?
You know, just like the friggin' watches: diamonds that will, and rhinestones that won't even get you into a lousy nightclub.
