Hello visitor!

The good news, as anyone who follows my Instagram can attest: I'm still here. I'm still taking photos, and in fact, I'm actually really happy with how my skills have improved. Since my last update, I've really learned a lot on my Nikon D750, and I can only go up from here.

The bad news -- due to life circumstances, it's been an embarrassingly long time since I have posted - photos, blog posts, ... well, anything - here, and I'll admit to some laziness. It seems I found myself sucked into just posting on Instagram and the contentment that posting there provides, and I thought about posting, but I kept procrastinating... which really goes against my motto of "always take the shot."

So! Priority shuffle time. I will be fixing that problem this week - starting today, in fact. Keep an eye out here for a lot of "new" images. Flowers, birds, nature, abstracts, all of it has been intended to be posted here, and it will be as soon as possible.

Also, today I learned that there has been a bigger problem with my website, particularly with the Store, which has, for all intents and purposes, been offline. I don't know how long it's been a problem, exactly, all I know is... it's been way too long. I had actually wondered why my greeting cards were selling at the Alameda Art Association gallery but not here ... I suppose that's why. Ahem.

I hope to have that problem sorted out soon as well.

In the meantime, I'm still hosting (and have recently passed my second anniversary as a member) at the gallery, located at 2242 Southshore Center in Alameda, California. We're open Wednesdays through Sundays from 12 noon to 5:30 p.m., and I'm typically there the first Saturday of each month. Be sure to come by if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, because the gallery hosts a lot of really awesome work. 

Thanks for stopping by, and ... as I'm having to remind myself, "always take the shot!"
