Pardon Our Deconstruction
So as an artist, I'm prone to rash decisions at times. One of those times happened a few weeks ago when I abruptly left Flickr. The departure is something I had been contemplating for quite some time. I had been close a number of times. But after a bad day I found myself surfing back to the same old stomping grounds on Flickr. I had the realization that if I wanted to get anywhere I was going to have to leave it all behind and move on. So I did -- I took the red pill and got the hell out. Well, it probably wasn't the brightest of moments in my life but it was what it was - there was no going back (sort of) to Flickr. The Good Reverend Ogalthorpe no longer had a stream to swim in.
I realized that I had made some good friends and connections and I didn't want to lose those. And doing what I did, was pretty selfish. It's like I just flipped everyone the bird and walked off, which is not what I intended. I basically just wanted to kick myself in the ass and use that as a catalyst to try to move onto the next level (whatever the hell that is).
So over time, I'll do my best to fix the the broken links and images on this here blog. In the meantime if you'd like to find me on Flickr, I have a second account that's been pretty much private for a number of years. It's now my one and only account. You can find it here.
Thanks to everyone and sorry if I pissed you off in the process.

Not a rash decision at all. Sometime the online thing turns into a black hole that sucks time and energy that it better spent elsewhere. Glad you are back, own it don't let it own you. It is always good to see your work no matter where.
Is this like quitting the meths and going on to light beer?
