If y'all haven't guessed, I'm forcing myself to catch up on old files this year. Some of these folders literally contain thousands of images to cull, edit, tone and (sometimes) caption before I make the slideshows.
Additionally, I'm still shooting assignments for newspapers, magazines and businesses while editing and publishing as many as three books each month. I also have two other major projects (unrelated to PJ) in the works.
Once I catch up, I'll start digging through my archive. As noted in December, I got a negative scanner and have several million images on the shelf.
Consequently, I have plenty of images to present in the future. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience.
