a new beginning

So, I realize it's been nearly 7 months since I've posted anything.  To tell you the truth, I haven't really been working on much as far as photography goes.  I've been busy getting the next chapter of my life ready.  I've graduated college, found a job, and have started into my new career.  It's really exciting for me to say the least. 

I'll be moving from Atlanta to Houston soon (at least until January/February), and will be traveling nealry 5 days a week every week.  Unfortunately, this means that some of my photo projects will have to take a back seat.  I'm also starting to get into my longest-lived passion - performance driving/racing, and I'm afraid photography is also beginning to take a 2nd to it. 

I love photography, so naturally, I will be taking a small, yet capable camera with me on all of my travels, but I won't be doing as much comissioned work.  I'll always be turning ideas over in my head and will be planning new, large projects - but the reality of life is that there simply isn't enough time in the week to do everything. 

It pains me, but at the same time, it also gives me time for a much needed break.  I felt like I was losing sight of why I really started into photography.  I hope to get back to the level that I was on before and renew the passion that I once had. 

So, as I start this new chapter in my life, I invite you to share it with me.  I'll be making weekly posts of my travels (have to have something to let mom and dad know what I'm up to), as well as posting new pictures and stories along the way.

One thing for sure is that this site is definately going to get a lot more use, and I hope you'll find the new content enjoyable.
