Well hello folks, it appears I haven't posted a journal here in damn near three years..... let me tell you it's been a very rough time. I watched my father slowly die from injury and illness, and he fought to the very last breath. I lost the only grandmother I had right before him, and his younger brother who was like an adopted father to me just four months before him... Now I'm watching my oldest sister slowly die... I have seen my whole family die away, and it's been rough. I've lost my drive to do photography of any kind. I have been slowly clawing my way up from a very dark and depressing private hell. But I guess that is the upside, I am clawing my way back... I've spent the past year doing alot of camping, getting into nature, kindof my way of trying to find my center of balance. I'm starting to feel the drive to photograph nature again, maybe even start posting on here again....I have had my limits tested and it looks like I'm starting to come out on the other side...
