Cyprus

Sitting in the lobby of the hotel, waiting for the coach to pick us up to take us home. There's so much history around here, it makes me more aware of how in the passage of time, a lifetime is a blink of an eye. From Aphrodite to The romans, to the luisignans, Richard the Lionheart even stopped over here. The british colonials, Makarios... And, as a lifetime is so short, each moment is precious.

Why is so much precious time spent waiting for things to happen. Wouldn't it be great if this time could be used better. Maybe I'll phone a few people.

JUst for the record, we stayed athe hotel Agapinor. Its pretty awful, temperatures soaring, air-con inadequate at best, food like school dinners. At least I won't have put much weight on! I came to photograph a wedding, which was quite testing in this heat. Its an ambition fulfilled, and would love to do it again. The experience has been good, testing equipment, pushing limits, challenging the ordinary.
