As I recently announced, I have had my second COVID vaccine shot. By the end of the first day, I knew that I had a been poked in my arm, but I was feeling fine. Day two, perhaps not so much, especially by the end of the day, when I stated feeling a little bit... Continue Reading →
I am in the midst of getting everything ready for my solo exhibition opening this afternoon of my Memory Pods series at The Photographer's Eye gallery, which I will be leaving for Escondido within the hour.
