i ran away for a while. got lost, entangled in chaos and pain, but i've been working on getting better. taking my medication. dating someone who cares about me, and trying to find passion and strength to be reborn again. i've been healing and every day- i get a little better. step by step.

i never thought i would be gone this long but i was so overwhelmed by pain that i just would shut everything and everyone out including this site.

i am an amateur when it comes to photography and most of my work is self-portrait style but i've been working on being more creative in the past six months and am starting to get better. i intend to share much of what i've done. i've played with and experimented by shooting thousands of pix in the past year and reworking or remastering them, these past several months. they've had good feedback on flickr where my main photography site is and though i know i'm not an expert or professional photographer with a degree, i think i do have vision and creativity in some of the pieces i've put together and am happy to share here. if deviantart doesn't take forever to upload it and categorizing it is so hard too, it seems so strict. flickr is a bit easier to work with even though its not really an "art " site. it's a lot more user friendly and people also reach out more but many i've met are either on deviantart or come here, too.

so with that said, if any who knew me in the past reads this, i hope you are well and that this new year brings you much peace and joy.
