| Who is behind Shoot Candids? What's wrong with me??? In 2003 my first wife and I divorced after 25 years of marriage. 25 years! Who says I am not loyal? But stuff happens, and divorce was the only real option. I´ll have you know I am a very loyal person. I am a Leo. I have a HUGE heart, and I need it. Loyal and generous. So I then rebounded into a pretty young thing half my age ... literally: I was 50 and she was 25. Life was blissfully blissful - well at least for a while. I had my Rolexes (what´s the plural of Rolex apart from "ostentatious"?) serviced, and bought a new Armani suit, and treated myself to a new car and a beach-side apartment. Dapper as ever, me and the new moll travelled so I could maintain my annual Airmiles average at a consistently stupid high level. She, the new "her-indoors", took to the lifestyle like a mallard to Lake Garda in Spring, but try as she might there was no way she was going to get any where near my Diamond Class airmiles card! And, while luckily she liked my champagne lifestyle - except I don't like champers ... I am strictly a red wine person ( except when I make exceptions!), she was obviously seriously jealous of my VIP lounge status. So, as many of my friends and family had hoped, things eventually came to an end. Not a quick bitter end, but a slow achy one. As a sensitive artist, my work suffered - well, no it didn't ... when you have the tremendously high standards of excellent quality image capture-manship like wot I 'ave, then all one does is slow down rather than produce lower quality goods! Focus on the money Mr Hard-man!! (Actually it wasn´t that bad ... it was pretty amicable - as was the first divorce. It was simply inevitable. So here I am in the second half of 2007 at a bit of a cross-roads. Do I move house, or do I move countries again. Heck, I have been in Brazil for 10 years ... as long as I have lived anywhere! As things stand I reckon I will keep my base in Brazil, but will scout around for somewhere else I can call home, preferably with someone compassionate and loving and possibly about 30 years old that isn't hung up on airmiles! Any volunteers? In the meantime I will continue to focus on producing magical Travel, Food and Drink images, as only I can! Where is the corkscrew? |
