First journal entry since Dec 31 2007, and first visit back since April 11 this year. Though I usually have at least one camera with me wherever I go, and take pictures at every opportunity I can find, unfortunately I seldom find the time to sit down and do much with them lately.
Was it coincidence that I came back to find my message box bristling with precisely 1000 messages, or is that the max allowed by DevArt? I don't know, but it definitely means that I've a huge backlog to get on with.

Where was James Bond in 2007?
It has been 364 days, and it only occurred to me just now ...
Has anyone noticed a lack of anything James Bond-related this year? A James Bond festival of sorts? Agent Of The Year front covers on glossy magazines? Personally I've not heard of as much as a James Bond Lookalike contest, or even a Give Us Your Best James Bond Quote In A James Bond Voice contest on radio.
There has, for crying out loud, not even been a James Bond MOVIE out this year!
What's wrong with this picture? It's the year two-thousand-and-seven, isn't it? Two-double-oh-seven. Did the British movie industry completely miss, or ignore, the symbolic value of this number, a
It just quit on me ...
I'm a bit sad, really. I've had this camera for the last few years, four and a half in all, taken thousand of photos with it, and now it has gone and retired itself. It just won't take any more pictures. It's a Canon IXUS 400 which I got in June 2003, and it has been with me just about everywhere I've been since. And I've taken pictures of just about everything I could find. The index number on the last shot I took with it, which was this last Christmas Eve, is 23790, and it decided to quit while I was trying to take a photo of the cat sleeping underneath the Christmas tree only a couple of days later. I've no idea what's supposed to be wrong
Productivity slowdown
I have to say this first: I have never been very productive here on deviantART. Posting here always seems like so much more of an effort than it is and has been on my photo blogs at flickr and Phlog. So most of my pictures have ended up there instead.
However, that outlet also seems to have run more or less dry recently, with "recently" being the last four or five months. I no longer take pictures "on reflex" when I see something that I, only a few months ago, would have jumped at. Instead my battered old Ixus 400 stays in the bag and rarely gets thought of except in guilty moments like this one.
I need a muse. In fact, I think what I need
Poetry scammers on the loose
Obviously there are lots who have gotten this before me, and I've no idea how many will read this journal post or if any of them will receive the same, but here goes.

OMG! you're a GENIUS! Why don't you join the poetry contest from http://tinyurl.com/2ehfr3 ? Free to enter, 100k prizes. You MUST win it!
Well, I've so far posted four bits of poetry, if you can even call it that, and if I'd been that good, someone else would've told me by now. So it sounded somewhat too good to be true, and it was. It's a scam.
If you've received anything like the message above, or know someone who
