Ah, thanks for reading this. If you are, chances are you knew me here at dA before and are wondering were the hell I went. Hey, man, we're still cool. I certainly miss talking to the most wonderful people on here. But, still, interest in posting and sharing art work and thoughts on here was lost on me amid perhaps the most chaotic year of my life. I'll spare you the details, but I will say it in involved getting divorced, starting over, facing unemployment, beginning -and ending- new relationships, new finances, personal conflicts, moments of confusion... you name it! I am very sorry, but the internet life held little appeal to me for quite some time.

But, I did try to find balance and fun in my hobbies and art. I did take a few pictures here and there, and have been putting off posting them until now.

I miss sharing anything I did with someone else, but I kept anything I did on a more personal level. I wasn't taking pictures to brag or just for dA posting, but simply to amuse myself. This made my photography more sporatic, yet more refined I think.

I have return to dA to share this new approach. Nothing but the color and beauty in the things and objects that, for some reason, bring me happiness. A serious look at my subject and no pictures for a pictures sake.

A moment in time. A day to remember. Thats what I miss sharing with you all.

Please forgive me for not responding to any messages during my time off. Also, I had some 5,600 deviations waiting for me at my in-box. Whew! I'm sorry, but I would rather visit old friends on here one at a time a visit their gallery as I can.

To kick things off, I've already posted four train pics. Hope you enjoy.

I hope to be taking to some old friends soon. And hopefully, make a few new ones.
