Broke wrist at the weekend. Can't drive. Can't hold a camera. Had to cancel shoots.(Sorry Bink) Can't slice bread so am reduced to eating sliced stuff. Good for sobriety - try drinking with the wrong hand - you wear the first inch. The left hand typing's a nightmare - so anyone that has sent me a note recently I'm very slow at the moment and it could be a while for replies. (This by the way I'm dictating)

Personal plus point - as I'm stuck in I've been looking back at the raw files of the last couple of years. There are shoots that I haven't edited more than a couple of pictures from, pictures in semi-edited states etc. It'll give me a chance to go through them although the left hand editing in itself is a bit of a job. Can't get the cursor over the sliders half the time.

Sort of got me thinking a bit though. Photographers a shoot - how long do you normally work for? How many shots per hour? How many of those would you use. Me, its about 6 hours a shoot. Probably average around 80 shots an hour although they'll be in short bursts in between playing with lights and backgrounds. Probably only around a dozen shots from any shoot ever see the light of day. Sort of feel like I do a shoot edit up some pictures...do the next shoot and the last one is sort of history. Now I'm sort of wondering if that is a bit of an odd approach.

Anyone got any idea of how long it might be before I am physically able to wield a camera for a few hours?
