Knee-Cap Pain

Ok, so I've failed to mention this before, but I've been having issues with my left knee-cap as of late. It started about four weeks ago when I would do my daily speed walk...After a quick Internet search it appeared that my pain was as a result of over-use. A pocket of water and inflammation builds up behind the patella thus cause aching and swelling.

Yesterday I went to the doctor (despite my hatred for visits) and he confirmed the problem: overuse. Seems 4-8 miles of walking per day isn't doing the old bones any favours. So, I have to cut down the walking, wear a tensor and do some rest and relaxation.


Bah.

Favourite Recent Photographs

Some of my favourite recent photographs:











Self-Portrait Story Project

I thought I'd share some of my recent self-portrait story projects with my readers. The photos, their composition as well as their editing have all been conducted by myself.

All of the lyrical content is written by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree.
