WOW!!! How many years has it been... So... I have taken a long break from DeviantArt... Not sure if I am ending that break now... I still check in from time to time but my personal artistic level is almost non-existent. I haven't put down my camera though... Quite the opposite in fact. I became a professional wedding photographer. It has been a twisting road but I have learned so much. With the help of a dear friend, I started a studio. I garnered moderate success... That means that the customer appreciated the work enough to pay for it... As a result of several poor choices, the studio became more burden than blessing. After several years

Well, life is busy... I hardly have any time on dA right now... Kinda frustrating... My groups are feeling the pain because of it... Gotta make some time... I do have a request for the dA community that is very important to me. I will be submitting 5 pieces of art in a local art show, and, being biased myself, I am looking to my art officianados for assistance. I need suggestions for 5 art-worthy prints from my gallery. The target audience is an upscale small-town America. It is a college town so I expect a sophisticated audience. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. I have to order the prints soon, so time is of the essence. Than

There comes a time in one's life that they choose to step back and reflect... In my case, this happens often... I do not regret past failures... They have shaped me... I do not revel in past successes... They also have shaped me... Do not misunderstand... I will admit that, if armed with the knowledge of my past conquests and failures and given the chance to relive those moments, I would have acted differently. But in that respect, we learn to appreciate the value of time and chance... This teaches us the value of a moment... a thought... a revelation... This is what I capture in my art... My photographs tell a story... if you listen..
