Don't forget, I'm news hound. Well, okay, just a hound. Tan, the way I look at it, all of us needs personal space and time - and how we use that space and spend that time is up to us. We have to do it because without it, some would go insane. If you are sorted in yourself, then others around you will benefit, and this means your family. You'll be a better person for it. If you constantly put others first, and that is no bad thing, then it is to your own ultimate neglect. You have to look after Number One, and then you can put others first, better. Personally I don't see it as a 'jolly' at all. Lots of exhausting travel, I never sleep well away from home, extensive and concentrated interaction with lots of fabulous people, and not to mention a lot of walking in a beautiful envirnoment, lugging around photo kit, shooting, and the camping - I'm a zombie without a shower in the morning, so to counteract that, extra human effort required (which is difficult as I am from Andromeda) - all this is bloody hard work! I've booked a couple oaf days off work *after* GFM to recover.... It is a great opportunity to enjoy your photographic passion and meet others - and you will be so glad you went. I'll bet you a bottle of cordial.
