Such an Unfortunate accident...

So Happy to hear You are on the Road to Recovery
With strong Determination and Vision
Great to hear You have taken Solace in things You Love

Best Wishes - H
 
Congratulations on surviving what must have been a major ordeal and good luck with the project. It would be interesting to see some then and now photographs.
 
So glad you are recovering as well as you describe.

Interesting how life can jolt us in one area, and push into something so interesting in another. Hope you enjoy it as much as you sound you are looking forward to it.
 
Best wishes and I am very glad that you are recovering well. Sometimes close calls of this nature can redirect your thoughts and make you wonder about places and people you have left behind. Your intended project sounds very interesting and I suspect you will enjoy yourself. The camera is certainly a great choice. I hope it all works out as you climb back on your horse.
 
Mike,
Very glad to hear that you're on the mend!
Your plan sounds like a good and interesting one to me and your choice of cameras for this s eminently sensible, I think.
Good shooting!

Wow -- I share the others' sentiments. Glad to know things are on the mend, and I hope you share your pictures with us when you're ready.

Gatehead -- seems to me that's the hometown of Brendan Foster, right? I know I'm dating myself some, but I've always followed "athletics, " as you folks over there call track and field.
 
Brendan Foster was from Hebburn, a bit downstream. Steve Cram was from Gateshead, mind.

Gateshead is where the inventor of the lightbulb came from as well. A great many distinguished residents over the years.

Wow, Mike... it sounds like you've got a pretty strong constitution.

I recently had the opportunity to return to my home town after 40 years away. I was surprised at how it was different and yet the same simultaneously. Please share your thoughts and your images!

Blimey, Mike, that's a shock. Hope you are recovering well from your injuries.

You've chosen a good pair of cameras there, so I look forward to the product of your journeys.

I lived in New Herrington in the late 80s, and took a lot of photos around Newcastle & Gateshead (now, sadly, mostly lost). An interesting and photogenic area.

I just thought it would be nice to return to a time and place where my photography was just starting and seemed so exciting
