I was at the cricket club yesterday. It seems to have done nothing but rain for the last few days, but on Thursday evening the sun made an appearance in the dark skies over the village. It illuminated the church next to the cricket pitch and the girls who were practicing for their charity match provided a good photo opportunity. For once I appeared to be in the right place at the right time.

For months I was unable to take any pictures due to the trauma I feel. The quality of my work suffered badly and my confidence plunged. Now without any commercial pressures I am slowly regaining my confidence, and find that taking photographs again can actually be great therapy.
