Things have not been easy, choices have been made based off of priorities. I have decided to stop trying to keep doing photomanipulation. It's taught me a lot of lessons through the years, but I no longer find enjoyment in trying to keep up with trends and my style just doesn't appeal to others as much as I had hoped, and that is okay. I find more joy in getting back to basics... I've always borrowed from others, so I started to offer so others could borrow from me without expectations other than some credit when used. I'm content with producing photography the most, and I would like to focus on the process of painting with acrylics or oils. Since I take hundreds upon thousands of pictures at a time sometimes, I gladly share the best of what I have that I am not going to stamp my name on. You can find my stock account here @MLAStock where I have a growing number of images and am working to improve upon for free and exclusive stocks. I am going to venture into people photography as well
