This is my professional photography website. I am devoting more time and resources to offering services and marketing myself and my craft to people and companies that could use my abilities.

That being said, this is MY blog.

It will be a place where I express what I want to say.

Sometimes I will express what I feel needs to be said.

I don't want to write on social media accounts to hope for people to engage with my thoughts and ideas.
I don't want to rely on an algorithm for people to find me and to see what I'm working on or writing about.
This is my website, and I pay for it. I'm dismayed by the vain hopes of gaining likes and hearts on platforms that manipulate their "free" social forums to usurp our precious time and attention.
I will continue to have a small presence on a few social media pages so that people who seek me out can find me. Still, I'm not interested in any gain for having thousands of followers or hundreds of random double taps on one of my photos.

I'm a professional photographer who works hard at his job and makes a difference in this world. Often with my art and sometimes with my words.

This blog, this blank page, this is where I can share unabashedly with the rest of humankind without being hounded by time (or life) stealing apps forcing me into their boxes of happiness pumps to keep my eyes on what they choose.

With that, welcome... and feel free to interact with polite, intelligent courtesy.
