It’s My Birthday – The Big 70

There is so much happening, and I’m so excited about many things.  Today, I turned seventy.  Frankly, I don’t feel any different than I did the day before, but the odometer clicked over, and here I am.  Turning seventy has given me a lot to think about, and I will be sharing a lot of those thoughts, as well as attitudes, over the remainder of this year.  Photography is still my passion, and that won’t change.

We have some exciting things underway at photoPXL, and I just wish I had more time in the day to get things done.  Next week, you can expect some gear reports, and soon, our new Greenland workshop will be headed somewhere different.  We will also announce a new webinar series that should be really good.

Thank you to all of you who have sent birthday wishes.  I’m headed out shortly to a birthday dinner and then a weekend away.  Check back next week as we start moving fast on a number of projects.

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.
