Ogalthorpe Interrupted

I've been on a bit of a hiatus from photography and having a tough time getting back on track.  At the end of February I was doing rather well.  I was on the verge of writing a business plan and getting my portfolio and workshops up and running.  I had to make an unplanned visit back to California to my hometown.  Some of you probably know that my grandmother has been ill for quite some time.  She passed at the end of February.  She was the strongest woman I've ever known and even though I will miss her tremendously I find great solace in knowing that she is no longer suffering. The week following her funeral I went to Lake Tahoe to be with my closest friends to celebrate two of us turning 40.  

I think it's all finally catching up with me.  This weekend I tore apart my loft to make some much needed improvements to its basic livability and usability.  The living area is getting some carpet and a slight makeover.  The studio is getting some organizational improvements that will make storage functional and I will finally be getting some things of the floor that have been taking up space.

I guess this renovation is a physical manifestation of the existential state that I'm currently experiencing.

I want to thank everyone who've been supportive.  It's been a very trying three months but I'm confident that I've come out of the struggle a stronger more confident person.  Now the thing to so is get back to whatever it was I was doing before I was interrupted.

So please pardon my dust.  I have some more work to do.
