roject C (Cancer) all became about towards the end of 2015, when I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. My first treatment was chemotherapy, which started a week after a week away in the Lake District with a group of photographers. The leader of the group had been taking an image a day for some time, loading them on to a web site - www. blipfoto.com. So I decided it was a good idea to start doing this, to take my mind off some of the side effects that I knew I was going to get. I am still loading my images onto www.blipfoto. com/kevinmaskell and to-date, have not missed a day. Due to the various treatment and bad side- effects that I’ve had during the last 4 years, I’ve been restricted to taking pictures in the back garden, or in the house, for long periods. But I’ve still been able to take images on various themes. One of the series was my water droplets on the Iris leaves in the small bog garden. This all came about one morning when I couldn’t sleep. So I went for a walk in the garden, and spotted the water droplets. I then got out my 200mm macro lens and took a few images. This led to a two year project, as I had to look out for mornings with little or no wind. I often had to get out very early, as the wind would pick up by 7.00am.
