It's been a long time...an update.

This evening I attended a reception for the launch of Robert Walton's self-published book, "Twelve Dreams: a transcription." Robert reminded me that I need to post more on the blog, so with a little bit of fire lit beneath me, I' m back.

My last post was June 8th! And two months later I'm back to let you know where I've been, what I've been up to, etc. I am still in the midst of a job search, looking for that right position with the right organization, and spreading the net beyond the non-profit world into service learning education, photography and similar jobs, and about anything else that interests me.

I have spent some time with my family, at home in Sugar Notch, PA, as well as traveling with my friend and fellow photographer Jeremy to Yellowstone, grand Tetons, and Glacier National Parks. Traveling while unemployed? Yes, since I was able to continue the job search while on the road, since it is something that can be done from anywhere for the most part, unless an interview comes up, and then there is always the phone.

I'll eventually get the trip photos online, but for now, am still working on some other things to be put online, such as results from Germany and Prague, as well as a continuation of the Blue Coal Breaker series, after my tour of the breaker from the inside thanks to the Huber Preservation Society, of which I am a member.

While sending out resumes, cover letters, and job searching, I am also putting a lot of time into the business side of my photography, simple things that need to be updated like my resume, files, negative storage, etc. I'm also revamping my efforts to get into the DC Theatre scene doing lighting design. On this note, you will notice a new addition to the homepage, my logo in the upper right corner, designed by my friend and an amazing artist / illustrator, Emily. This logo will be on my business cards, letterhead, and also has been featured near my signature on prints and mattes.

Stay tuned for some updates on editioning of specific works.
