I shot a Baptism, a Funeral, and Birthday all in the past month. My workflow on post-production continues to evolve. I experienced the use of drones aka unmanned flying vehicles - being used to capture an event last month - the Baltimore, MD kinetic sculpture races - www.kineticbaltimore.com -  along with my first in-person experience with Google Glass at at tech showcase event in Elkridge, MD. Not as creepy as tech columnist David Pogue makes out.

This year, 2014, will be an interesting one. The photo industry has undergone tremendous change since I began sometime in 2008, many, many jobs lost, two of the major mall/department store-based photo chains going bankrupt, and print-based companies closing, or really hanging on by the thinnest of thin margins.

What does the future hold? Some of the old, some of the new, and, perhaps interesting spins on old ideas.

I, myself, have been wrestling with the latter for a couple of years now. There are a few threads I plan on spinning later on, but we'll see. Memories are always important. For this summer my primary focus will be providing huge prints in my trademark style. Why? Four by six prints sit around, 5x7" and 8x10" prints are framed here and there, but who really can showcase work at larger print sizes?
