My blog may have been quiet, but Summer 2014 has been busy - both with my photography and in my personal life. In September, my wife and I had our first child, a healthy boy. Life has changed tremendously, but despite the sleepless nights and dirty diapers, it's only for the better.

Also, a part-time job I took photographing and reporting for a couple local newspapers has occupied a fair bit of my time. While it keeps me making photographs and meeting people, the photos I take only go to the papers, and not my website.

In the meantime, I've been shooting (and developing and scanning) film. It's a slower process, but one I thoroughly enjoy. Digital photography encourages a photographer to focus on the last shot - checking the LCD to ensure everything's perfect, and if it's not, to re-shoot. Film encourages a photographer to be accurate the first time, and focus on composing the next shot.
