I quickly need to get the word out on a possible upcoming trip I am taking to…

Dallas!

The weekend will be April 20 – if you are at all interested in having me photograph your family over that weekend, and are in the Dallas “area”, please email me or use the contact me form above.

*************************************************************************************************************

I will be doing a bit of traveling this year. Most likely sticking to the West coast (ish). The bay area, maybe Oahu later this year. Email me or use the contact form to get on my interest list for these areas, or if you have one of your own. In order to justify a trip to your neck of the woods, I need at least 3 people interested.

Thank you!

Back for realsies soon.

Yesterday, while upgrading to OS X Lion, I got this message.
My computer is currently still working, but I am taking it in to get looked at.
(Everything is backed up.)

I will be going radio silent until I get ol’ Bessie back.
