to be honest, i am not sure how many people actually read my journals (or look at my work)... i know that i have a bunch of watchers... but that doesn't really mean that many people truly pay attention to what i do... i suspect that about a dozen or so people do... (and i want/need to say 'thanks!' to those of you that do!)... which, considering the medium and the forum, is really a fairly good number...

in any event, those few that do pay attention may have noticed that i haven't posted nearly as much as i did a year ago... that is due, in large part, to the growing demands of parenting... my twins turned three in august and need a lot more of my attention and energy than they did a year ago... in fact, i am beginning to wonder why the 'terrible twos' are given so emphasis when, in my brief experience, the 'threes' are more difficult (but that is a 'story' for another forum)...

another reason for my 'absence' is that, now that the boys are entering preschool, i am preparing to go back to work... i have found a good restaurant in the city (san francisco) and should start there in the near future... which means that i will be online even less than i am now...

with that in mind, i plan to pare down my gallery to a handful of images... and i will be unsubscribing to most (if not all) of my deviant watches... so, i guess this journal is a kind of parting salutation... i may post a last few images that i have shot recently... but, for the most part, i won't be around...

i have seen some good art here, from both mature and developing artists... and had some great conversations about art... and i have met a few really great people...

so... well... thanks, everyone!...

hey, you!...

no, the d80 does not have a video mode... you're better off using a cheaper point-n-shoot... most of those have a video mode (although it is poor image quality)...
