Write the wrong

In the end I did not go out to take some shots, I remembered at the last second (putting my boots on) that a man was delivering my new studio lights and said he could be arriving from 10am onwards, so I just did not have the time to go. Today things have changed, outside it is dry (well for the moment) but I am stuck at the computer doing a power point presentation for work. I known me at home doing something for work, but in this case it is something very worth while as a new position has been created and I am applying. The position is to help with the internal communication of the department and now having discovered I’m dyslexic (and not thick) I feel more able to attempt something of this nature, in the past I’ve let my inability to write stop me, but knowing that its not my fault has spurred me on to try to reach my potential

Today’s photo is another one in the set of shots of the tree that I am taking during the year.

So great that you have discovered your dyslexia. Good luck with the application.
You may alredy know that there are government guidelines to guard against discrimination of dyslexic people in the workplace.

Good luck and if what Suburbia says is true then you can totally stop them from being discriminating - you don't deserve it anyway after all you've been through!

Fantastic tree shot. Good luck with the application. I'm fed up with the rain too.

Do not look at dyslexia like it is a barrier, but it is instead a wonderful new challenge! Also, the contrast in the picture is beautiful. I hope I am describing that correctly, because i am not a pro photographer. :D

That's great, Brett. Good luck! We'll be thinking of you and wishing you well. There's a huge amount of input and positivity you could bring to that particular table. Keep us posted.

Great pic. We feel like we know that tree so well now!

I have dyslexia, not so much anymore...but as a child it was bad. You will be fine, and get whatever you go for!

Beautiful photo of the tree, even if it isn't recent. Hope the studio lights came on time, and they are the perfect compliment to your photography.

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit...

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s ...

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever...
