Exactly 12 hours after my departure in Orlando, Florida I am finally bored enough to switch on my laptop for the first time and make an attempt at something that is commonly know by the modern world as “Blogging”.
Why do I want to make such an attempt? Heaven only knows…! I don’t really have the time to record my daily activities nor do I possess any kind of writing skills. I’m a photographer, and I don’t have any intention of changing that any time soon. Besides, who on earth would be interested in reading what goes on in my little world?!
To make a long story short (and “short” most of my future entries might well be) – the odds are definitely against this blogg and I will be extremely surprised if it still exists a month from now.
However, let’s give it a chance first, shall we?!
Ok, ok, so what the heck am I doing over the Pacific Ocean in the middle of the night? Ah, well, I’m heading to Australia, what else!
The off-season, short as it was, is now over and I am ready (at least I think I am) for a brand new tennis season, with almost frighteningly high enthusiasm. It’s like everyone is starting with a clean slate, not just the players, but also us photographers - a new season with new chances to get (even) better pictures than last year, to “win” the big one and take home the trophy ;-) Hey, why not?! I think of it as a small trophy every time a picture of mine gets published. So there! We’re not so different from the players!
But before I can start hammering away like a mad-woman (with my camera) I have to get through this endless flight first. Luckily I actually enjoy flying (now you do think I’m mad) and don’t mind even this long flight. In fact, I was able to drag it out as long as possible by booking the Orlando – Los Angeles portion with not one, but TWO stops in Denver and Las Vegas. Oh what joy! I managed to “visit” a total of 4 cities, stretching from East to the West coast, in less than 8 hours.
Now I am on the Los Angeles – Sydney portion in a very comfortable Exit-seat and the seat next to me is empty. Who needs business class in that case, eh? Economy is perfectly acceptable. Ughh…except maybe for the food that they serve in Economy, but let’s drop that subject.
Time for me to sign off and try to go to sleep. Hey, this blogg was good for something already – it made me sleepy!! How’bout you? Still awake? I’ll take that as encouragement… ;-)
Bye for now,
Manu
