Lot of Catching Up to Do

Meerkat

We have a lot of catching up to do! As the days got shorter and crazier with the holidays, my time seemed to slip through my fingers so fast! I am finally catching up on my site, and I feel as if I am awakening from hibernation.

We have survived the holidays, we are now reconsidering our resolutions, and we may now take this winter opportunity to evaluate and do some actual planning for the year to come. I pray that all of you have survived the past two years and that we all have grown – not just grown tired – but that we have learned something from this crazy time. If we have not grown, then I feel it has been a lost opportunity. While I never want to repeat this opportunity, I look at this time as such.

What have I learned? I enjoy my craft and have learned that I had not allowed the time to pursue my craft as I have over the past two years. I have learned to take a chance. Look! I’m writing this! Big step for me. My technical skills have improved. I am looking at things differently, and more often.

Have you hibernated over the past two years or have you learned something over the past two years? Think about it.

Happy New Year and here’s to moving forward!

You Have To Get Out of The Boat

Old Wooden Boat in Kinsale, Ireland

Sometimes you have to get out of the boat.
Are you feeling safe inside of your comfort zone? I have been with my photography. But recently, I have been moved to do more with it, so I jumped way out of my safe place last night and announced to family and friends that I am going to do more with it.

It is scary.

I have been obsessed with photography since I was 5 years old. Because of such a life-long obsession, I have decided to dip my toes into the world of digital commerce! I have been selling images through stock photo sites for about 10 years, but I believe now is the time to expand. Please follow, like, comment, on the following sites. This is not a get-rich-quick venture. I am just trying to have my work seen.

I am working on a three collections of digital downloads. One collection is a set of encouraging and positive quotes, thoughts, and sayings on some incredible backgrounds.

The next collection is some sassy fun retro images taken from very old photos and applying thoughts current today. I hope they make you smile.

The last collection will be some of my finest work for your enjoyment.

Over the years, some of my work has ended up in books, travel guides and brochures, print advertising, etc. I have won awards in some international competitions and have received judges commendations. In addition, have had work in traveling exhibitions.

I want to reach a larger audience and I hope you will help me do so!

Thank you for reading this.
