November Roundup: New Pricing, The Luminaries, and a Swanky New Year's Eve

November went by far too fast for my tastes. There we were, celebrating Halloween, and seemingly in the blink of an eye Thanksgiving has come and gone and we're staring down the barrel at the end of 2011. How'd that happen? It's been a year since I had my photo show, which affords me a chance to look back and contemplate the state of my photographic life. I had no lofty goals in mind for this passion of mine; just a chance to share the bits of this world that I happen to come upon through my lens. It's been a rewarding and often humbling experience. Recently I became enamored of the photographic community over on Google+, which at the moment seems to make up the bulk of the stimuli I'm experiencing over there. Casually participating in conversations with newbies and pros alike, it's been a revelation to me to at last feel like I've found my peers. (Nothing personal to you, Flickr community; I still love you too) In working to reshape the ways in which I share my work, and frankly, to make it more accessible to those who might actually want an image of mine hanging on their wall, I am pleased to announce that I have restructured my pricing for all my print work and have adjusted my online store accordingly. I enjoyed a small boon of sales last year surrounding my show, and while my main focus has not been on selling my work, I can't deny the deep satisfaction in knowing someone who likes my work enough to want to invest in it. And so it goes. If you're at all inclined, head on over to my store to see what's offered. There are the usual prints, along with gallery wraps, floating prints for the wall, and desk stands. (Those floating pieces are so cool...I'm thinking I may want one for myself soon!) I've expanded the galleries a bit, adding shots I had previously kept private, and moving things around so that they reflect the galleries I keep around the Web on Facebook, Flickr and Google+. Please feel free to leave a comment on a shot or a gallery if something strikes your fancy. I'd love to hear from you! I've been allowing my DJ life to simmer on the back burner a bit in the last couple of months, after my flurry of activity at the end of the summer. I worked hard on synchronizing my photographic expression, but now it's time to return to a sense of balance, and I have a few delicious gigs coming up that are worth mentioning. At the moment, they are: - Dec. 10-11 - Moontribe Full Moon Gathering (invitation-only; location private) - Dec. 21 - Opening set for Luminous Movement (hosted by J Brave of the Luminaries) (Zanzibar in Santa Monica; see here for details) - Dec. 31 - 2012 Awakening New Year's Eve (Hummingbird Ranch in Simi Valley; see here for details) That's all the news I have for now - thanks for reading!
