I was, for the most part, quiet for all of 2012.\u00c2\u00a0 There were quite a few things going on in my personal life and with my health that kept me from focusing on my photography.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 With the new year, all but a couple of minor things are behind me and have been taken care of.\u00c2\u00a0 With that, I’m starting a new project and picking back up a couple of dormant projects.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 It promises to be a fun, photo filled year.<\/p>\n


\nIn November, I finally pulled the trigger on buying a new camera.\u00c2\u00a0 My venerable Nikon D50 gave me a good 8 years of life and many, many photos.\u00c2\u00a0 My new gear centers around a Nikon D7000, SB-910 speedlight, Yongzou SB-560 speedlight and a bunch of other addons like a beauty dish, snoot, grids, umbrellas, filters, etc.
\nThe Alien Bees are gone and in their place is a gear-set that, with the exception of the stands, snoot and beauty dish, fits in my new backpack.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m getting back to my roots of guerilla style urb-ex and outdoor shooting.\u00c2\u00a0 Flexibility and edge are the words this year.<\/p>\n

Enough with the words, I give you a skull.\u00c2\u00a0 In a jar.\u00c2\u00a0 Because, you know, a skull in a jar!\u00c2\u00a0 That’s why!<\/p>\n
