This blog will become more photography centric. I will continue to share my images and what projects I am working on, but there will be more photography info, facts, reference lists etc.
Over the past two and a half years I have relocated, changed jobs more than once, taken many, many photographs and I even shot a wedding. Something I have not done in over fifteen years. I don't know that I will add weddings back onto the list of services I offer, but if I know you personally and the circumstances are right, I may just consider it.
I still create my tree art, one of my newer pieces can be seen at the bottom of this blog. I sell postcards of some of my work at a store in Roanoke, Va, called A Little Bit Hippy and am hoping to offer small posters there soon. You can also purchase the postcards and prints by selecting which print you would like at my website A Walk in the Woods and sending me an email. Later this week I am planning to offer items through Society6 as well.
The largest personal hurdle came early this year when I found out I had a tumor in my stomach. I had surgery to remove it in late March. While the diagnosis was not great, it was cancer, the prognosis is good. It was a small enough tumor, 4.5 centimeters, and the malignancy was low, so I do not have to have any chemo or radiation treatments at this time. I do have to have my stomach scoped and biopsies taken every three months. My first follow up is next month. My focus has been on staying positive, and striving to keep stress and negative energy from my life as much as possible.
Currently I am working on expanding my photography portfolio, and finally sitting down to create a course I can offer as a class at retirement communities and after school programs in the community. I am developing my own course manual and marketing plan. I will continue to share my progress with this project here.
