Sorry I have not been so active lately, the wind was knocked out of my sails for a while.
I was dragged into a lawsuit of which I had no interest or anything to gain. I had to furnish the defense about 2,000 of my photos taken since 2008 and then go through a grueling deposition. Then, I was subpoenaed for the trial, which thankfully was settled only hours before the trial began. I still had nothing to gain of the $75 million suit.
My enthusiasm for my photography was slammed. I was emotionally and physically worn out.
However, I have learned one thing, one big thing that I sort of knew from my days in journalism--pictures do not lie. At least mine didn't because I do very little photoshop. I had to review each photo with the defense attorneys and say whether or not they had been altered. And, I was glad to see Big Oil lose. They've done enough damage to the environment.
Hopefully, I will get back to the spirit of my photography soon.
