It has been quite a while since I last blogged. It's been almost a year and a half in fact. Much has changed; the good, the bad, and the ugly. On a personal level, we have a beautiful grand-daughter, and I have decided to retire from my commercial work, while hoping that the magazines for which I hope to continue to do editorial work will successfully weather this human and economic storm that is raging around us. My artistic hope is that I can regain my enthusiasm for photography as I concentrate on my artistic work.

Obviously, many people are suffering through this Covid-19 crisis, both with their health and their financial well-being. Amy and I hear most days how "the elderly" need to stay inside, or at least away from others. I don't think either of us felt that we were in that group until this all happened. But we are well, so here we stay.

I am working on some small projects from my lair here in Downtown Lowell that are suggested by a workshop that I am taking, via video-conference of course. When I signed up for it we all hoped that it would happen in person, but obviously things changed. But it has actually worked out to keep me busy and sane, at least so far. So I thought that would give me an opportunity to surface here, for the first time in a very long time, and to show some of that work. Not surprisingly this set documents my current life indoors, where I ask most days, "What day is this?".
