Duplo's blog

- Just another blog on the internet -

A sincere apology

Tuesday, February 8, 2011 7:45:26 AM

Dear All,

It has been so long that I barely remember when my last post was, I can however see from the lat one that it has been almost a year and a half without a post and with me disappearing without notice.

For that I owe you all an apology, the reason is however simple, life kept me up and I kept promising myself that tomorrow I would be back posting again, it just never happened. I was burned out. And as i was about to get ready to get back in, Allan passed away. I simply needed time away, but again doing so without letting anyone know was not fair at all.

But to answer some of the very basic questions, then i am still in Greenland, still travelling more than I would want to and still having a profound passion for photography.


This post holds both good and bad news I guess.
The blog here will stay on hold, however I will start blogging again, but I also need a fresh start.
Thus this blog is at least for a little while longer inactive, it will however remain online as I cherish the many comments and exchanges that has happened here.

For now you will be able to find me here: the new dupl0world

A sincere thank you to all of you for your concerns and my apologies for just wandering off.

Thomas:)

Utah, so different, yet similar...Ricewood remebrance.

here is a bit more explanation. thank you for the new link, Thomas. will be happy to look for you there. Allan's passing was hard to bear. he died on our anniversary, so the timing brought it back fresh... I was just visiting his pictures tonight again. glad you've a fresh return elsewhere.

Darko, Norfrid, Louis,
Thank you for stopping by and for remembering me after so long time.
really means a lot..

Jill,
Allans passing was tough on everyone I think. I am sorry to hear it happened on your anniversary.
I visit his pictures on a regular basis, even got one of his prints on my wall.

what a wonderful thing! I would love a print. I hope that someone will compile a book of his work. I haven't visited much simply because it makes me sad. I will have to make myself- as well, learn from his tutorials.

Jill,
I bought a print some years ago, when he went from full time social worker to self employed.
This image to be exact:

One of my favourites from his capable hands and eyes.

Perhaps one should ask his relatives about it? I think it would be a wonderful way to share his art.

A project worthy to put some work in I would say.

it is beautiful. I would agree with all you said.

I'm blessed that we collaborated on a couple of pictures and poems together: http://my.opera.com/ricewood/blog/at-dock
