It’s only been a little over seven months since PhotoPLX made its debut. The team for PhotoPXL has worked super hard this year to bring you a top-notch website dedicated to the Passion Of Photography.

Our success wouldn’t have been possible without you, the reader, and supporters of this site. We are truly grateful to our readers and those that have contributed financially to help this site grow. I want to send a big thanks to all our article contributors, too, as their contribution of great content is what truly defines this site as a photo community.

An extra big thanks go out to my wife, Debra, who has supported this endeavor from the start. Chris Sanderson, who has been a huge motivator and influence in too many ways to mention. Michael Durr who brings a fresh image as well as masterful videos to the site. Michael, I wish you and your family the best and have fun with your new baby. Your spirit shines through this site with all of what you have done.

We have a lot more material and ideas as well as videos, tutorials, Interviews and much more coming your way in 2020. If you think what we have done is pretty good for seven months, wait till you see what a brand new year will bring. I am so excited to share what we are working on.

Please have a safe and fun holiday.  Eat a lot, drink a little and for heaven’s sake, get that camera off the shelf and take some pictures.

We love you all . . .
Kevin, Debra, Chris, and Michael

and let’s not forget the PXL cats
Ansel, Georgia, Nova, and big boy Jupiter.

P.S. The holidays are a good time to go back through our 13 pages articles and catch up on some reading.  You may find a useful article you haven’t read yet.  Also, cruise through the forum where there is a lot of information on topics you may be interested in.

We’ll be back on the 26th.

Photography is my passion and has been for 45 plus years. My career in photography has allowed me to travel the world, meet some of the most interesting people on the planet and see things I could never have dreamed of. My goal is to share the passion of pictures taking through photographs and teaching with as many people as I can hoping it brings them as much joy and happiness as it has me. I do this through Rockhopper Workshops and other projects as well as teaching at my Gallery in Indianapolis.
