What happened?<\/p>\n<p>Well I pretty much stopped taking photos. Why? because I&#8217;ve joined the competitive gaming community. It eventually became a case of concentrate on playing or concentrate on shooting. Shooting took a back seat while I concentrated on playing Street Fighter IV, going around Europe playing in tournaments. Now I mainly run tournaments and cover events via my youtube channel. I still play and train hard, but at present I am not good enough to beat the top players.<\/p>\n<p>What will become of this blog? Well it seems I have changed but the blog did not change with me. Well, it&#8217;s time for the blog to change as well. Rather than be solely about photography, from here on the blog will be about me, and the relevant type of media I am creating at that time. In the last year I have been to a lot of tournaments around Europe, however I did not put video content on here as it was mainly match footage. Recently I have acquired a GoPro HD HERO video camera which I have begun using to video blog, so that content will go up here when relevant instead.<\/p>\n<span class=\"vvqbox vvqyoutube\" style=\"width:560px;height:315px;\"><span id=\"vvq-2874-youtube-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NPYl_XBdU-U\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/NPYl_XBdU-U\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Preview Image\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<span class=\"vvqbox vvqyoutube\" style=\"width:560px;height:315px;\"><span id=\"vvq-2874-youtube-2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JOr3jrq0nJk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/JOr3jrq0nJk\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Preview Image\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<p>Some of the few random photos I HAVE taken in the past year.
