Back from the land of the dead....

[Mig]

Okay, more like a temporary reprieve. Liz sent me a "Are You Still Alive?" e-mail, so I figured I would just stop in and say hi. I've been crazy busy at work lately, and actually just got back from back-to-back conferences - flew from NY to San Diego, from San Diego to Orlando and then finally back to NY.

The San Diego conference had an incredible keynote speaker - James Lovell, Commander of the Apollo 13 mission, so that was really freaking cool. I haven't had much time for photography, although I did manage to make it to the San Diego Zoo while I was out there. I also went to the Museum of Photographic Arts which was exhibiting Steve McCurry and Graham Flint's Gigapixel Project - those images are absolutely amazing in person. My Tokina 28-70 broke while I was out there, so that was thrilling (aperture is stuck).

Anyway, tomorrow morning I leave for Cape Cod. My grandmother turns 90 this year, so the entire family is going out there to celebrate - and there're a lot of us - my mom's one of seven kids. Luckily a guy I work with loaned me his 24-70L so I can take pictures of all the drunk Irish folk (us).

I miss you guys. I was lured in by all of the interesting posts just in VF alone, but I need to get to bed - my sister is flying in from Georgia and I have to pick her up in Providence on the way to Cape Cod.

Hopefully I'll be back soon!

That all you've been up to?

Good to hear from you. Have fun in Cape Cod!
