Where is everybody.

What ever state the country is in at the moment, this seems to be a dire time for photography here in the UK, or at least that's what I am feeling. Things seem to be vanishing without a trace, quickly and quietly, as if some kind of Ninja assassin has been paid overtime. Agencies (including my own along with many others), labs, decent book shops, good magazines, galleries (not that there were many to begin with, I stepped away from the gallery scene for a while and it seemed to all be vanish). Even the good Blogs are evaporating like kiddy farts.
All the friends I once knew related to photography are now selling mushrooms, moving to the country, or have simply disappeared.

Maybe its just me (and I thought I was popular).
