I keep wanting to update this site - I'm not sure I'll ever get around to it - maybe one day. I'm in the midst of building out a more comprehensive site - one with a real blog where I can maybe share some things I've learned over the years - or just rant and rave about the craziness in the world -- and maybe a few galleries where I can put together a smattering of related images. I don't know -- I always waiver over doing something like that -- there are SO MANY photo blogs -- so many John and Jane Doe Photography sites -- I get sick of seeing really bad photography from people who own a camera and call themselves a photographer -- and I really get tired of meeting some of these so called photographers and finding out they wouldn't know a stop from a guide number.

See? I need a place to rant, huh?

I think I've had this site now for nearly 10 years -- it's been my little place where I re-familiarized myself with photography after a very, very long layoff. I've learned a lot of new things along the way, too. I feel like it's been my online education center - and just maybe I've finally earned my little degree in photography -- and maybe one day I'll get my online MFA... Nah... silly...

I'm feeling a new phase in my photography life / escapades coming on -- I've spent a lot of years photographing what I know -- the world around me -- and I think I've done okay with it. But - now - I have this yearning to do something more -- I can't quite put my finger on it -- but I need to go deeper in the recesses of my mind -- in the world -- photograph what I find - what I feel -- what I think - and then go back and do it again...

I have a little saying I live by -- Leap and a net shall appear... I think I need to remind myself of this simple - but powerful thought - each day...

That is all for now. Carry on.
