I’m Starting a Video Blog!

Reflecting, Dreaming, Changes and Some Other Stuff
It seems to be that time of year for me, when I reflect on the past year and dream about the year that lies ahead. 2014 was full of challenges - starting a new business and learning a new craft (filmmaking) while maintaining the current one, and continued difficulties from my head injury in 2013, ...

A Visit to the Miller’s Professional Imaging Lab (and Joplin, MO)
