Welcome to the next page. This is the point where I feel like I'm actually moved in to the area. The part where I feel like I can start investing my time and emotional energy in getting to meet people, in going out and doing things and not feeling like I just showed up in the middle of the party. It's also the point where I feel like, on the one hand even though I don't have any bookings for weddings or portrait sessions or anything like that, on the other hand I feel like I've done all of the things that I should have and that a lot of the seeds that I've sown over the last couple of months are getting ready to sprout. It's not something th

So, I did it. I took the plunge and put my most recent book up for sale in the Kindle Store. You can check it out or buy it for $1 here: http://www.amazon.com/Plunket-ebook/dp/B004Q9TY0S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1299244103&sr=1-1 I did it because I wanted it out there and available for anyone who might want to read it.

I'm thinking about dropping by a few local shows and shooting some local artists and trying to pass out a few business cards here and there.

Thanks and welcome to the group - and a happy belated birthday as well :)
Happy birthday, Ryan! Hope things are going well for you!
I see you’re beginning to play with reversal films now. You should grab some in 120; Velvia is pretty amazing in medium format.
I have been. In fact there are a few shots in my gallery. Primarily Velvia 50 in 120.
I absolutely love your work. There's too much to comment and favorite, so I'm watching instead. :D
Hey, thanks, I really appreciate the support.
Happy Birthday, Ryan! Hope all is great up there in Homer...
