Absence of updates

There have been a couple of reasons why I haven't been updating. 

The first is that I've been on an abnormal work schedule which has thrown me off a bit.

The second is that I'm experiencing problems with my camera.  I'm not sure what the problem is, but images are not clear.  This started about a month ago.  I don't know if it is a lens problem, a problem with the sensor or what. 

The fact is that nothing I'm shooting is turning out well.  This has led me on one hand to shoot a bit more than normal and on the other become somewhat discouraged as it seems nothing I'm doing is making things better.

If I don't get better images soon, I'll be sending the camera in for a good servicing.
