Wow... It's been a while!

Forgive me Father, for I have not blogged in almost a year... LOL

I can't believe it has been nearly a year since my last blog.

I'm trying to think of all the things that have happened in the last 10 months... Let's see, I moved closer to work so I can save money on rent and gas... I've sold a few pieces of art and a few of my 2010 calendars (about 16 so far!) Mom and Dad went all over the east coast in the RV for almost 3 months. They stopped by just before Thanksgiving for a few days. I drove out to Kitty Hawk, NC to catch them a few weeks before that. That was a nice drive and visit.

I haven't been shooting too much, but I've been commissioned to shoot something for a customer that they are going to give as a Christmas gift. So I have to get hopping on that one.

My brother lost his job this fall and my sister bought her first house in November.

My health seems to be pretty good, and I've been able to hold off the holiday blues this year.
I'll have to think a bit more about what other things have been happening and share that later... :)

Feast or Famine

Well, It's nearing the end of February and I survived the busy season yet again. I had a rough holiday season this year. I have been battling some bouts of depression and poor health this winter which made this year a bit more troublesome than past years.

Leoni and I had a falling out which also didn't make things any easier but here I am, so it seems I'll survive. Now the lab is quite slow and I have some time to get my life back on track and concentrate on getting happy and healthy again.

On the photography front... I had a sale!! I sold a print to Bill Elliott, the Nascar driver, the day before Christmas... What a thrill not just to sell something but to sell it to someone famous. It's definitely the highlight of my Christmas this year.

So... I don't think anyone is reading this stuff but somehow I enjoy sharing it with nobody... lol

Gabe (my boss) and I are still planning on going to Grand Teton and Yellowsone this June. I'm begining to get a little psyched about it. I haven't been back there in a few years and have some cool ideas about some places to go and fish and shoot pictures. I might even risk the heart attack and go on another crazy long hike... LOL!

Well, if anyone does read these lines... as always, check out my website at www.djlampkins.zenfolio.com and look me up on facebook. Later!
