After New Year’s I took a hiatus from my photo blog, and pretty much from photography. In the past three weeks I have gotten back behind the camera, and I am ready to get back to my photo blog.

I have a few health issue that I need to address, but I should be back online soon. Until then, I wish everyone a healthy, prosperous, and happy 2011. Keep your eyes open for those really great shots!
