A change in how I'm doing things...

I have changed how I am offering my prints for sale. Since its expensive to ship a print from Belize, costing nearly $30 for a print to go to the U.S. or Canada via Express Mail Service, I have chosen fineartamerica.com to produce my prints and to handle the shipping and payment options for me.

Lugging my other camera around is like taking care of a newborn baby.  Little did I know at the time, this would be the last hurrah for...

Revisiting Guatemala

I took a second look at all of those photos I shot in September 2012, and edited in October/November, and was surprised what I saw this time around. Seemingly innocuous boring photos took on a new life once I looked at them thru a fresh eye. From time to time I need to set something down and revisit it later to understand. These photos will eventually become part of paintings, I'm sure of that. However,...
