Back Home From Namibia
Friday, April 25, 2014 at 04:20AM Well, after some amazing desert landscapes and wildlife I am back home and in the saddle, so to speak. This past Namibia trip was my longest to date, as I way away from home for four weeks to the day. I co-lead a pair of workshops with good friend Joshua Holko, and after the second workshop was completed we extended our stay for another 5 nights and spent some time in the north of the country.
While I was away I rededicated myself to updating this blog more often than I have done so in the past year or two. Much of my past year or two have been spent updating Facebook or Google+, and I realize that I have ignored many people who are not on either social media platform. My approach going forward will be to update this blog and post links back to this site on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Let’s just call this my 2014 New Year’s Resolution in April.
I have many things to write about, from recent images on safari in Africa to thoughts on camera gear and the ever elusive work / family balance that I never seem to obtain. It all starts by writing down the first letter of the first word of the first paragraph. My approach will be to carve out at least an hour each week to make updates, which is often hard to find in my busy life.

That sounds like an excellent resolution. I look forward to your musings on the art and the industry of photography. I am sure that many other readers do as well.
Thanks, Kevin. I have so much to talk about, as you know, just about photography in general. As much as I like to talk about the craft of photography, I also like gear. So more of that, I am sure, on this blog. I am going to upgrade the blog to the latest version of Squarespace in the next week or so, which will take a ton of work. Time to get cracking!
Hi Andy,
I am glad you had a great time and I am sure got some good images.
As far as the blog goes, it is not even as much as some folks are not on social media, and they are not, but then you have folks like me that work in places where social media is blocked. By the time I get home at night, feed the outside feral animals, feed my indoor animals, cook dinner, get washed up it is pushing 9:00 or after and by the time I sit down, I am out. Therefore I missed all that was on Social Media. Not always the worst but you know what I mean.
I and so many others love your posts and if they are on the blog, we stand a much better chance of seeing everything you post.
Thanks for All that you do for your readers. Enjoy some time with your family and God Bless.

Thanks so much, Michael. That is a great point about timing of postings. I will be posting on here much more often, and then cross posting to the other outlets as a way of the write-once, post-many mentality.
