Year in Review!

First, I need to thank everyone who came along for the ride. From the OG followers to the newest of the new, thank you for all the comments, likes, encouragement, and engagement; all of it is necessary to keep the machine moving.

It’s easy to get discouraged and lose sight of what exactly we are doing, especially at the very beginning when the audience is not very big and the return on investment seems nonexistent. But when you hear someone say they like your work or tag you as a means of motivation, it truly makes an impact.

I have been at my computer for a few weeks looking at what I have and what would make the cut. Of all the exciting things I learned along the way, I found it interesting that it came down to about one image a month, much more than I ever thought possible.

In that same breath, I realize the journey still has a long road ahead.

This is my first year in review, and I am taking this as year one for what I hope to be the starting point of my legacy in this world of photography.

I don't plan on going back into the archives and digging out any other images; I will leave those decades of images as practice and the stepping stones to where we are today and plan only to look forward.

Lots of fun stuff is planned for 2024; I hope you stick around.

Happy New Year!
