There's little to report artistically, as I'm not taking many photographs this fall. I'm writing sporadically, but mostly in (offline) journal form.

A bit of perspective...

Rockwell makes a persuasive case that when it comes to photography, what really counts is not the expensive equipment, lenses, or years of experience.. but the photographer herself/himself. Refreshing! And just what I needed to hear.

I have a new job; it's gone pretty well so far and I will be moving into my next (and preferred) position in the fall, which I am looking forward to.
On the photography front, two exciting things happened lately:
--I was asked to submit some work to a silent auction for charity. It was

By the way
The new gallery changes are exciting but I am still finding Flickr easier to work with than Deviant Art. Accordingly, you can find some of my recent photos there, at http://www.flickr.com/photos/melliferous/
I'm now a college graduate. Yay!
