I get rid of earworms by finding the melody on a keyboard and tapping it out. Gone!

Sounds fair. I don't tend to work on projects and only rarely collate photos as a series, so I can't offer much! But your Q does make me wonder if my confidence about a style or about a topic might be vulnerable. I don't think I've ever had feedback that shifted my direction.

I think I'd look at that as two separate issues, not one, perhaps depending on the importance of the word 'project'. But either way, being ignored is one thing, being challenged is another. I'd be sure you don't need anyone's approval to continue research that you find stimulating.

Ten years back I was musing over a 1920s RR and a friend gave me a list of the positives. It was impressive, and at the end he said, 'but don't forget to refocus AFTER you stop down!' πŸ˜†

Every time he's said something similar I've assumed, whether he knows it or not, that he won't be in post long. Or at least that it will be his replacement who takes us back in. He'll get a medal for destroying the Tories, but what happens next is a chapter as yet unwritten.

Back in 2015 when it was first shown I was having convos with folks about its aptness for the dark clouds on the horizon. Of course, it was early, but not premature.

Sorry for being misleading. I meant I let the scanner do what it does, but then make all adjustments in Photoshop.

I have a V600, and like the 3200 I had before, every scan gets the Crop and Unsharp Mask before going to Curves, because scanners are scanners - they apply their own basics but it's never enough. My eyes know what I'm after and I usually do a further Crop and Curves to get the composition I want.

Indeed, no. Old masonry cannot always be trusted but I knew it had been done before. George Brassai took some very atmospheric nights shots of them back in the 1930s.

I remember talk of China's investments back then, and later, in the mid '90s, I met a Zanzibari doctor who was fluent in Mandarin. Turned out that their investments included education!

I'm always happy when people bring up The Pedestrian. Yes. Bradbury was no doubt famous for his other-worlds writing but his cutesy homespun picket-fence horrors were superb.

Now it makes sense. I once saw it from roughly this angle at dusk and the silhouette must have left an impression. We promptly moved on after one beer, and that was it.

I was in language education and worked in different places. One job that gave annual contracts told me I could have a further year if I started a masters course. I followed through, but only because the job gave the money to pay for it. I know it's not always that simple, but it kept me in work.
