St. Paddy's

I didn't get to wear green today, because firstly, I had to photograph a signing at my firm, and secondly, well I forgot.

There's really not a lot to celebrate right now in the world, what with Japan facing the aftermath earthquake and Tsunami, and continued unrest in the Mid-East and Northern Africa. It's so beyond my comprehension, what's happening. No wonder people are predicting doomsday.

But perhaps in this regard we can take a leaf from the Irish, who have remained (at least in popular conscience) resilient and optimistic despite many years of problems.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
