The Reluctant Prince





Update:

Those of you that have been following my art account for a while now know more or less what happened, in brief, we were in the middle of packing our stuff to move back to Thailand when we discovered that we lost our 9 week old baby.

What was supposed to be a regular check-up turned into a moment of great pain, followed by a day spend with various doctors and a wide range of tests. This happened on Friday 20/02/2009 while we were supposed to be spending time packing some of our stuff, getting ready to move back from Hong Kong back to Thailand.


We then needed to schedule surgery for my wife to have the baby removed on Saturday 21/02, with our move taking place on Monday 23/02. On that same Saturday I had to spend about 2 hours worth of time discussing and negotiating my new job in Thailand.

Friends and family had to be notified but aside from that there was literally no time for us to realise what had happened as we had to spend Sunday making up for the two lost days of packing with the movers showing up Monday morning to pack all our furniture and those belongings we were having shipped rather than taking with us on the plane.

We arrived in Thailand Monday night and spend the rest of the week dealing with paperwork, sorting out visas, embassies, getting our internet back up and running, fighting with the shipping company etc. as well as finalising discussions around the new job. During that time it caught up with us and we both crashed, hard; emotionally and physically.

We're doing much better now and have made peace with what happened, we always knew the risk was there, but somehow you hope that you’ll be all right. Our home is as peaceful as ever and being here has had nothing but a positive impact on our frame of mind; the rest of our furniture is due to arrive sometime next week and I'm starting my new job tomorrow.

I’ve also finally taken up my camera again and have a bunch of pictures from parts of our garden that will go into my stock account *Ghost-Stock as well as some macro and semi-macro shots for my art account.

During this time, macro made more sense to me, the little things in life that remind you that overall, life is beautiful and all around you; waiting for you to see it once again.

Thanks all for the well wishes, the notes and the just being here.

Loads of hugs,



Ghost

most people aren't sure of what they really want in life. I received this letter

from a friend on the computer, did what it told me to, and within a week,

everything I had wished came true!! Here's an exact copy,

this

really

works!!!!











*************************************************************







1. To yourself, say the name of the only guy or girl you wanna be with 3

times!











*************************************************************











2. Think of something you wanna accomplish within the next week and say

it to your self 6 times!!











~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~































3. If you had 1 wish what would it be? say it to yourself 9 times!!!








-----------------------------------------------------------------------















4. Think of something that you want to happen between you and that

1special person and say it to your self 12 times!!!












--------------------------------------------------------------------















5. Now, heres the hard part! Pick only 1 of these wishes and as you scroll

down focus and concentrate on it and think on nothing else but that wish.

Now make one last & final wish about that one wish that you picked.







After reading this, you have 1 hour to send it out to 15 people, and what

you wished for will come true within in one week!







u only get one chance!!!!! Now scroll down and think of your
crush!!!



























































Keep going

down



























Keep going







































Keep

going








































!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











Did you think of your crush? I hope so, that was your last chance. Now

pay very close attention this important message!



Sorry but once read, must be sent. Yes, this is one of those kinda chain

letters that everyone hates. This one has been going since 1864 and if you

break this chain, you will pay!!!!!! Remember that after hearing these

stories.







First Example:



Take Barbra Wallace.. She was a pretty lucky girl, up till she got this same

chain letter. She had a crush on the same kid since kindergarden. when she

got this mail she didn't pay any attention to it. She just thought, no big deal.

And deleted it. The next day her dad got fired and her mom dies in a car

crash. If she would have sent the letter none of that would have happened

and her mom would be alive.







Second Example:



Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average nerd. Had glasses, was

short and chubby, was in gifted. All the signs of
your total dork. He also received this letter and sent it to 51
people in the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush on a girl since 3rd

grade. The next day after sending the chain the girl confessed her love for

him ever since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the courage to ask her out,

and of course, she had been waiting to yes to that for years. They grew up

and
married each other to live happily forever.







Third Example:



Now if you couldn't relate to the others, this'll get ya hooked. Listen to this.

A kid named Jordan Johnson was just getting on AOL to check his mail.

He was a quiet kid, not that popular but not a geek either. he was just

normal. He saw he had mail from his friend. It was this exact letter. Now

Jordan Johnsen was a smart kid and he knew what could happen if he didnt

pass it on. He simply pulled a few friends from his buddy list and sent it

along. The next day, about that same time, he got a phone call. It said he

had won the lottery!
then his dad came home and bought him a new bike! His mom bought him

Nintendo64 and play station! His grandmother sent him a new computer,

and his best friend
gave him tickets to the concert he wanted to go to, Kid Rock and Limp

Bizkit! Then he inherited a brand-new tv from his aunt! He was goin' wild!

the next day his secret crush asked him out, and they have been going out

ever since.







Now, you heard the stories. I know which person i'd rather
be, but thats up to you. I wouldn't wanna end up like Barbra but thats only

me. We all want what we cant have but now's ur chance to go out withthat

special somebody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you send this to-



1 person- you will lose all luck in ur love life..... forever!!!!!



10 people- your crush will say they like you as a friend...... ONLY!!!!!



15 people- your crush will say they like you



20 people- your crush will ask you out!



25 people- your crush will kiss you!!



30 people - Your crush will have sex with you



35 people or more- All of the above!!



Don't blow it, it's ur chance to shine! Have everything u wanted, and more!

Now, complaining cus u dont have any
friends. Well theres an answer 4 everything. It's simple, just go in a chat

room, pick some names and send away! but here's the catch..... you only

have 1 hour
if the pain goes on im not gonna make it...!

[VISIT ME!]
Hey chief, I'm still around but very irregularly at the moment. With moving countries and starting a new job there has been little to no time to visit online, let alone to actually go out on shoots. I have a lot of images I still need to process and ultimately upload, I'll probably won't get around to it for another month or two but I'll be back (with a vengeance :)) eventually.
