Hello all. Took a long break in December – January for the holidays and because I moved from Florida to NY. Pretty much settled in, still need to find places for some of my artwork and a few other minor things, but at least it no longer echoes in here. I have taken on the role of freelance photographer and assistant, as well as some web design work while I’m getting established here in Brooklyn. Since I’m coming from Florida, the cold of winter is definitely a change, but minus the copious amounts of snow I saw in my childhood hometown upstate, winter is no where near as unbearable as I remembered it. I have been shooting personal stuff much less due to other things taking up my time, but that is starting to change and ideas are starting to mix around in my head again. I took a friday afternoon and went to the MOMA recently and it did me a world of good. Saw works I’d only seen in books or via the web. Cunningham, White, Weston, Adams … all the masters lined up next to each other.  Sat in front of Monet’s Water Lilies exhibit for a while. Cant tell you how much I needed to experience that piece. So much different to see it in person. By the way, it’s free every friday evening so there is really no excuse to not go if you live in the area.

More posts soon. And by soon I mean less than 45 days from now : )
