Wow, it's been nearly a month since I wrote something here or uploaded anything for that matter. I normally don't broadcast what happens in my personal life, but I think I need some place to collect my feelings.

My mom has been scheduled for a very important surgery for the past six months. They've been pushing it back for the longest, but it seems like they are settling on November (hopefully) for her surgery date. To be honest, I'm scared out of my mind because she could be paralyzed if something goes wrong. If she falls the wrong way or if we're in a car wreck before the surgery she could be paralyzed. So yes, I'm on pins and needles while I'm driving and when she's at home; because she's already tripped once and I almost had a heart attack.

To add to that we took in 7 of my cousins until they can find a place to stay. Yes, I said 7. Ages 4, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15 & 30. I love them to death but it's starting to stress me out a little. I have to drive everyone everywhere because my mom's medication doesn't allow her to drive.

In a nutshell, that's why I've been MIA for about a month.

Not sure how many of you guys will read this, but it certainly made me feel better writing it.

On to better news, my weekly photo articles and art features will continue within the next few days and a Livestream photo tutorial is on the way. I did some test runs and the practice one I did for this image:

was a little over an hour long.


Cheers!
