Well it seems that I have finally made up my mind to hang up the old blog. This is a decision that has occupied a lot of my thoughts, but honestly does not come from a place of angst. To that effect I feel I owe you, my readers, an explanation.
While I still love the medium of online journaling/blogging/etc., I have come to the conclusion that as far as this specific venue goes (for me), it has reached its end. Blogging has offered an outlet for many of the various thoughts and elements that inspire and occupy me on a daily basis. It has also been responsible for numerous connections within, and exposure to, the greater photographic community. Truly it has been an invaluable resource. So why would I walk away now?
In the greater scheme of things I am looking at this as an opportunity to regroup and return with intensified efforts at a future date. In fact there are already various ideas floating about, and ultimately I am using this as an impetus to push myself even further while exploring those other options in the coming months and years. A lot has changed in the online world over the more than 2 1/2 years since I started From This Moment, and this decision is partly a reflection of that as well.
So, where does that leave us? To all of you who have checked in here over the years I am not going to take the site down. One thing that personally irks me when people do stop publishing is the complete removal of their material. I will probably turn off commenting in a few weeks, just so I can stop moderating it. Other than that it will remain here for the sake of posterity and as a catalog of the various people and sites that I check in on regularly. My personal website has been updated recently, and I have other things planned for it, so check that out too.
Finally, THANK YOU. To those of you who have supported and inspired me to pursue this task, to all of the wonderful people I have met and talked to, THANK YOU. Please continue to write me, say hi, and stay in touch. I wish you all the best.

I am hitting the road in just about an hour for a week long photo excursion that will bring me back to the Midwest. Very excited for snow, to feel the cold that only the middle of the country can provoke, some new landscape, and catching up with friends in between. Things are going to be quiet(er) around here until probably into the new year. Have a happy and safe holiday everyone!

Black Is The Day, Black Is The Night
"Diego Rivera (paper, scotch tape, dirt on painted wall)"

For all of you out in CA, make sure you head over to the Carnegie Art Museum in Oxnard this Saturday to see a new work by the venerable Amy Elkins. Black Is The Day, Black Is The Night, is nothing short of moving. Put together through ongoing conversations with men serving life sentences or on death row, the series itself is great, but the installation she has worked up at the museum should not be missed.
