![]() ![]() Last week, I returned from a 10-day trip I took with my wife to see the fall colors in New England. Photo: Moon over storm clouds in evening light along the Atlantic coast near New York City, New York Starting in early September, I’ve been spending several days a week working in the offices of one of my clients here in the Bay Area which has again put me back on the Photo-Editor side of the photography fence a place I enjoy equally as much as I do working behind the lens. Throughout the summer I was also going back through some old trip folders and processing a bunch of images that had been cloistered away on my hard drives. I’ve also been fortunate to have a number of print sales and location assignments back in the queue. On the business side, I’ve been continuing to do online zoom presentations for a number of photography groups over the last few months, and have again started up with some more of my online and in-person consulting sessions and mentorships. I highly recommend it for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the prevailing clouds of angst and negativity, especially where fueled by the fear-porn news. ![]() Turning the volume knobs down on that noise was almost a matter of self-preservation. Months of not paying much attention to the news had really nice effect calming the spirit. It feels like the time has now come to pull my head back down out of the clouds to share a quick bit of an update.įor those who would like to know, I’m doing mostly well. That tug has reached a point where I look back and realized that it’s been a long while since I’ve posted on my blog or even shared a photo or three online. However, in these times when I get quietly lost for too long, there is always the gentle tug of wanting to share my work and commune with people and friends, many or most of whom are connected through my online social media portals. With the rampant online polarizations about things like vaccines, mandates, and the political bowl-swirling, these disconnects for me are like taking a long walk through a quiet forest that you don’t want to come out of for fear that the noise of the outside world will leave an unwanted stain. This is understandable given that I’ve gone what some might call, “Radio Silent.” Technically, it’s been more like an online disconnect since old-tyme radio is so much less a part of our lives these days. I’ve had a few friends and clients reach out to me over the last couple of months checking in to see if everything was okay. *static* … *static* … *static* … “Can you hear me now?” (Oh and get this: they aren't selling The Hunchback of Notre Dame when it comes out on Blueray in March at Disney Stores weird right? I mean I know it's not as popular as other movies, but I was pretty surprised.Photo: (Above) Radio Telescope at night in the Eastern Sierra, Inyo County, California Ground Control to Major Tom, What’s Up with the Radio Silence? Hades on the other hand is more probable. Speaking of Frollo he would look dashing as a designer doll, his outfit would be perfect since it is already pretty "blingy" XD If they came out with a Frollo doll I'd be in heaven, though it's not likely at all. I'm hoping for a Hades because he's starting to get popular again, plus he's one of my favorites along side Frollo. Facilier aren't far-fetched, we may just get him. I purchased the Jafar and Maleficent (I agree his turban is too small, but I never ever see Jafar dolls so I had to get him XD same with Maleficent, I can't really afford the designer ones at the moment so these will do) As I was checking out, the cast member noticed I was a Villains fan and said that they ARE creating a LOT more. Given that movie has been out for twenty years, that's saying a lot.Īfter reading this I'd like to present some good news :) These dolls are relatively new. They make one Jafar doll every ten years. And be on the look-out for these dolls at Disney Stores soon: Disney's Maleficent finished wrapping earlier this month, so there's no turning back now XD One event, on Septemwill include a Disney Villain event where the Magic Kingdom will stay open to the 13th hour, 1 am. ![]() The part that pertains to us:Īlso in 2013, Disney visitors can expect a 52-week long celebration called “Limited Time Magic.” The event will bring a pirate-themed week, dance parties and lesser seen costume characters to the park. Disney announced some new plans for the parks in 2013. Did anyone see Wreck-It Ralph? Did you enjoy it? It seemed to be a hit with the critics. I guess that was supposed to last us for the rest of the year XD After the Designer Line, Disney hasn't given us much to report. ![]()
