Oh dear - a delay

My computer is being rather spastic and with the election only a few days away, I find time scarce and I don't know when I'll have time to clean it up to the point that I can run photoshop without everything crashing due to low memory. With the significance of this election, I feel the delay is justified as I don't want to see the issues I care about be neglected and lose by a narrow margin and then late regret not giving more time. So please pardon the further delays! And if you're a US citizen, remember to vote!

The adventure begins again.

Have you begun to wonder if 365 Faces of the Year will ever be finished? If so - the wait is about to end.

This weekend I will resume with the post processing of the project and I will continue at the rate of one per day with typing, post processing and hopefully posting the images I spent all of last year shooting. I can't tell if I'm excited, anxious or some strange mix of the two. But if you've been waiting to see a friend, family member, or even yourself here - the wait between new posts is almost over. And then I'll be posting frequently again. Thanks for waiting with me!
