Effective 4 Jan 09, all comments are screened and all family related entries may be screened "Friends Only" depending on content. Maintaining my personal life and privacy is important.

Friending Policy
Feel free to friend me if you like, though I'd ask you to send a brief introduction comment or message. Don't get upset if I don't friend you back in return (immediately or ever). All of my photography appears on the public side of this journal. Most family and private matters stay as "friends-only" posts. As I get to know 'you' either in person or in commentary, I may add you. Even if I don't add you, don't be surprised though if I should drop an ocassional comment into your journal from time to time.

Thank you all for your kind words and concerns about Wendy. She is doing better. The asthma attack caught her completely by surprise (she hasn't had one since school).

Folks the nature photo of the day and week are delayed until tonight. Between a shoot yesterday and an 8 hour stay in the hospital emergency room overnight, I've now had a 26 hour day. Wendy had a massive asthma attack.

I must be crazy because I keep thinking I can update this journal more often than I am able. The past couple of weeks have been “challenging” on many levels. Contrary to some folks popular belief, I have not given up on blogging nor am I excessively filtering posts. I only hard filter on subjects I really don’t want certain (still) ‘interested parties’ from my past to easily get a hold of. Over the past 3 weeks, I’ve been swamped and dealing with multiple issues. Some subjects I can note publicly and others require I filter to a bit more discrete audience.

Sweet Magnolia

As mentioned before, four beautiful women gave me the opportunity to photograph them with a sleek powerful Mustang. One of these ladies was Raven. She had modeled years before and been a performer, but several children interrupted things a bit.

Back in October, I got the chance to photograph four extraordinary ladies. Lindsey is a new comer to pin-up but she's got amazing potential.

It snowed several days ago here. Now we've gotten thunderstorms, hail and torrential downpours today and tonight. Thunderstorms in December?!
