Default Back in... er, Orange

As Todd and Louis already know, I'm back in the LSX scene after a nearly four year absence. I got me a shiny orange two-seater last month and can't wait to start cuttin' it up.

Nice to be back.

Thanks for the kind words. PS is extremely powerful and I love it, but most of what you see (besides the obvious B/W) was done in the camera, not the post-processing.

Thanks guys. I applied and was accepted to a MFA program a couple of years ago, but I couldn't make it work logistically.

Man, a lot has changed in the LSX world while I was gone. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. I’m looking forward to the day I can contribute again!
