Its been a long road...

Sat Apr 5, 2008, 11:21 PM
  • Mood: Satisfied
Its been nearly 4 years now since Erika's AML diagnosis, 3 years since her death, 2 years since my father died... A double whammy of grief that I was certain would kill me.... yes, a very long road indeed and I think I am finding my way back home.

Along the way I've lost some friends and discovered new ones. I've found strength I never knew I had and despair that I thought would consume me forever. My life, my family, my priorities, my photography, and my relationships have morphed and shifted to a new plain. I'm sad to say that my time here on DA was affected but I just couldn't get involved. My pain was too much.

When Erika got sick my photography bloomed in earnest. As if by photographing everything I would keep that part of her with me always. Then after my Dad passed away I had no desire really to pick up my camera and do much of anything. My Mustang became the new focus. It was the last one he ever saw and I began showing it last year - in July - in his honor.

Now, I'm involved with the Mustang Club of America and the local chapter, North Texas Mustang Club. I'm the newsletter editor and one of the photographers for them. We're very active with the shows and now own two Mustangs (Undercover-Archangel has one now too!). But I want to make more time for my photography.

I can't guarantee I'll be on here much but I'll try to be here more than I have been. I'll even try to post a few pieces for you. :)

Hope to talk to you soon!
