So it has been a while since I’ve posted anything here. A lot has been going on since my last post. For those who know me personally, this may be old news. I moved from Washington to Erie for a bit and when that didn’t work out, I moved back to the Pittsburgh Area. I spent 2 years living in Beechview with an old friend. I had wonderful access to the City of Pittsburgh and photographed there often and frequently. I got a job working in the West End for a company that had a data entry contract. That job changed my life for the best. I met a wonderful woman that I will be marrying on the 10th of August of this year.
2012 was a great year for my photography. Although the commercial aspect of the business was slow, I undertook a grand project that spanned an entire year. I started a Picture a Day project. I set strict guidelines for myself. Each day I had to shoot a new image for that day only. I had to shoot it between 12:00am and 11:59pm, edit it, and post it online. I didn’t even realize until the middle of January that it was a leap year. 366 images are now part of my 2012 Picture a Day project that I successfully completed on New Year’s Eve 2012. One of those images received a great deal of exposure and made it’s way around the social media outlets. It was a lucky snap of multiple lightning bolts above Pittsburgh.
In the summer of 2012 I met a great group of people that share my love of Urban Exploration. We visit old and abandoned places, capture images and document the state of things and share our view of these places with the world. I’m so fortunate to have met up with such a great group of new friends and talented photographers.
At the time of writing this, my fiancee and I have been in our home for almost a year. Oh, how the time flies. It seemed like only yesterday that we closed and took a picture of the two of us holding the keys to our new home.
I am now in the process of updating my antiquated website and building a stronger presence on the web. 2013 and beyond will see me concentrating more on my work, both commercial and personal. I will attempt to keep up with this blog to the best of my ability. Here’s to a great rest of 2013!
