So this should be an eventful year!

New job back in Colorado, at home with benefits and steady work, amen to that in these difficult times.  My heart goes out to the others struggling, like my good friend Mr. Toadsmoothy and his family.  I am happy to be more healthy and well after so many years in pain and disabled.

I will be having a baby in a couple months, a baby girl.  So those with the gift of names, please lay some on me.  I am extremely excited, and prepared, although not ready. (Don't know if that is possible).  

I also need to get a new digital camera, and some subject to spark my interest again since back home.

To all my devious artist friends and to you a great year!

(Here is some thumbs you can't see anymore haha)

I'll throw in some of my favorite scapes from two of my favorite artists:

Well I figure I should write something ingenious since it's been almost a year since I showed my text/face up on deviantART.  Time flies when you're back to a normal life in the states, does it not?  I feel far more normal than I did in the desert, I breathe easier and enjoy the smaller things in life.  

Since the last time we have spoke, I moved back to Colorado Springs, bought a car, a house, a white picket fence and fell in love.  That about sums it up.

Time to get back to the grind of work, so I set out with a bad back and no money to find my grind again.

I shall post some more photos that I have taken recently, although rare and far between.  My stock site should hopefully get flooded with some of these thousands of photos that are resting on my external HDD.

Great to see you and howdy.

Hey Everybody!!

For those that may not know, I have left the land of sand and returned to the gorgeous United States of America.  I'm currently residing in Oregon for a bit to visit family and return to life as "normal".  Although I've never been normal myself, it's weird to get back to the consumeristic, hectic, populated world again.  Everybody is in a hurry, I'd forgotten how each person is running around like a turkey with it's head cutoff to try to make up for lost or limited time.
Well I'm here now, and will try to respond to messages and hopefully submit some more photos!

It's nice to be back, the green is overwhelming, the sky is bright, even the rain is refreshing.

Happy Father's Day to all you lucky fathers out there!

Hey all, just saying hi and putting up a new journal instead of the bland old ones.  Work has continued onto normal, although now that I work 12 hour shifts and work the daylight hours, it is a little odd.  My skin has gone from see-through (vampirish) to tan.  It's an amazing transformation for most people that see my face in recent photos.  After working 18 months or so on nights, and now going to early mornings has been refreshing for my mind and body.  My body appreciates the suns rays and my mind is more sharp.

  

I finally got a decent tripod that's not too bulky.  Due to the lack of movement compensation on my camera, it has been quite a blessing.  I took some photos just to test, and the results are super crisp.  I never realized how much of a difference it could make, I just always figured I was getting bad shots due to camera limits or light limits.
