Well this year was not such a great start for me, had to already miss a day of work due to a bad cold I spent all of last week trying to get over. I'm still not 100% over it but at least I'm starting to feel better. I want to apologize to all watchers looking for new pictures...clearly I've not updated in a long time, even though I do have some stuff I could put up. Truth be told due to the fact I must decrease my time spent online, there will be much less frequent updates. I will be coming on deviantart only to check on my group AnimalsofTheWorld and keep that updated as much as possible. The problem is I spend enough time on a computer at work that I don't want to spend further time on a computer at home. My PC is not the greatest setup either I have a tiny work space in my small bedroom and often sitting in the stupid folding chair I have (even with a cushion) starts to give me sciatica pain down my right leg. It gets extremely uncomfortable working there. My only recourse is to get on my laptop and sit on the couch which is more comfortable, but still, my goal is to spend less time on the computer. I have other things to do with my life and not to mention a plethora of health and family-related issues that's putting a bit more stress on me. One thing I will elaborate on is weight gain I've dealt with in my 30s....I need to lose a good 30lbs now and I'm looking into ways to start at that journey.
None of this means photography is out of my life...hardly. I am not as active with that either lately but I still enjoy it and will probably get to visiting zoos again at the return of Spring. Winter is not my favorite season at all, and like most people I prefer indoor activities at that time.
So all that being said, thanks to those that continue to watch me and support my group, I really do appreciate it and thank the deviantart community for all the happiness they have given me
God bless you all!

Hello everyone!
It's been a LONG time but finally I have updated with some new photos.
Please do like, comment, and spread the news as I would love more exposure.
I get asked a lot if my photos can be used for reference. Surely you can, just so long as I get credit for my photo. Please include a link to it if you post the art to DA.
My gear has changed, I had to sell my older gear *sigh* then was able to get new gear but I'm only using a Rebel T6 right now.
Very soon I will get back to probably 60D or 70D.
I'm also still practicing so tips and constructive crit are always welcome. My style and goal is animal portraits.
I do not use Phot
Thanks!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes I turned 40! Yikes! I know I’ve been sparse but the page is not dead...I’ve just been too busy to spend much time here. The Fall is coming though which is a great time for zoo photos, cooler weather is better for the animals and the photographer! I want to get a pro lens but it is taking a long time. Someday!
Vacation photos and new gear!
Hello to all of my watchers...I FINALLY have some new photos for you, taken on all new gear! That's right I have traded all of my Canon gear and switched to Pentax! Why? I don't know, it seems to me I could never quite master the Canon so I decided to try something new entirely. I heard good things about Pentax and so I made the decision to try all new gear and see if that improved anything.
Well I guess you will have to be the judge of that! I LOVE the 55-200mm lens I use now for the zoo shots, because it's so sharp! Also this lens is spot on with the focus making my task so much more enjoyable and rewarding.
I still have a lot of lear
Photo Journal- New Year's Eve at Longwood Gardens
Hey everybody! I decided to do something a little different and make a journal about a recent and amazing trip to Longwood Gardens! This incredible place has a fascinating history and is located in Pennsylvania. If you are anywhere near this place or want to make it a day trip, I'm telling you it is quite worth it. The Conservatory alone is worth the trip! Anyway, I went here for the first time during their Christmas decorations and WOW, was I ever impressed. And since they change it up every year, I am definitely going to try and make it a yearly thing from now on! I also go at least one other time in the year for Spring...the carpets

Hey, I'm sorry to hear that you're still suffering health issues and I hope you can work towards feeling better this year. Getting away from the computer should be a great opportunity to experience the world and community outside. You will be missed, and thank you for sharing what you have of your wonderful photography. All the best for many good experiences in 2015.
