Especially for macro work which tends to take a bit more effort. Thanks to everyone who commented. It sounds like we may have some temporary office space ready for next week so at least I won't be cooped up at home.

Re: GESO: Photographic Therapy
These images certainly look therapeutic. The thing that has made me such an enthusiast about photography is the fact that, when I'm taking pictures, I'm thinking about nothing but the shot. It's utterly absorbing for me, and as I recently told someone, I'm never happier than I am when I'm taking photographs.
