wrapping up my tenure here in Spokane Washington. Lots of great photo prospects here. Love the trees and the rivers! But my work here is coming to a close and I am looking forward to returning to my beloved Southwest. Winters here are not brutal, but can be very annoying. Interesting that I had a shoot set with a model for May that came from MM. Now I see that her account is closed! oh well..I guess these things happen. I will be working with more reliable models soon. I really need to add to my portfolio since I am making a go now this professional photography thing.

it's not that I never considered myself a photographer. Just I never considered myself a serious one. Well partly because of the dismal job situation, and much more from my own desire to pursue my passions (after all, we only live once, right?) Photography is becoming something I am embracing on far deeper levels.

Things have been on hold for a while. In late February, and odd feeling prompted me to visit the doctor. Turns out I had a congenital (since I was born) hole in my heart (Atrial Septum defect) that had  hindering me all my life (I had no clue about it) But now it had grown to the size of a half-dollar and my entire heart was enlarged. not good. So on June 10 I underwent open heart surgery to repair it.  I am home and resting now - and anticipating more energy and stamina than I ever had before...well once I am fully recovered that is
