I hope it was a good red, at least 
Are you still writing? How are your stories coming along?
As someone mentioned about Ernest Shackleton (I think), no one cared until, suddenly, everyone cared. It's up to you to keep the history alive.
Ri I am focusing currently on learning lightroom to edit my pictures. I have recieved many books wrt it on a flash including Lightroom6 from Xpat. I am however and unfortunately experiencing computer problems hence most of my post ons WD also on phone through tapa which result in many typos....sorry for that.
My planning was bad this time around, I have never came so badly prepared on an expedition and now that I finally have a little money saved I cannot use it to help me with my immidiate challanges but it is all fine. The book was in my view not a success, but I did neverthenless try. It is like a roller coaster ride but what made me uncomfortable as the relevance on my personal life which was or is very uncomfortable. I end up writing and leaving too many gaps, sort of making the reader more curious and just too many empty spaces. I am abselutely not ready for the book as I have learned writing a book lile that is like becoming naked in publick and it is not for me.
The coffe table book is however still on the charts, but like I have said before I am faced with 2 major issues:
1) I need more material to make it complete and the people who knows about Gough will remark the book incomplete without the main landmarks which are the Glen, sea stacks like Lots wife, Church rock, Penguin Island, Saddle island, North and South point. I cannot make a book with pictures of Gough if I have missed all the real points of interest and I am not at this stage prepared to take risks to get this....not worth it. So time will tell if I will get these photographed but it is not likely to happen.
2) It is spelled out in no uncertsin terms that it is not allowed to publish a book. It is a beefy draft, and we have (no choice) signed it. If I want to find a way around it, it will be though legal advice which all add up to cost. The book will likely not make money but must at least be able to cover (cary - support?) Itself.
My hope with a photo book like this is not only to make people aware and share this beauty and trigger new and joung adventurers but to double as some sort of photo profile (portephelia?) For me.....maybe there is some sort of future who knows? If I do read through the photographic books you have sent me it sometimes seems unlikely though.....there are just so many good (real good) photographers in the field.
Anyway, thanks for asking and the interest in what I am doing.
Like said, mainly studying photo editing in my free time (exposure and colour/effects) and reading (always a book) and once I get dry rocks there will be fishing. Also start looking into work possibilities.....I am abselutely open to whatever come my way.
Big Oil if you read here; I got you pm' but replied twice and do not know if there is something wrong with my tapa account. Rather sent me a mail, I am with google mail and you just put tom.mcsherry11 before the the rest
