Haven't updated this in quite awhile.  Right now I'm going through a hard time.  Some things have changed recently and taken quite the steep downhill turn.  I guess you can't run uphill forever.

So at midnight tonight I will be turning the big 23. A lot of people have been making comments about how I am getting old, etc. I however feel like I'm a young buck ready to pounch me some...well. Anyway, The last few weeks have been interesting. Christmas was alright. Nothing to really shout about, but I walked away a bit better off (got a sweet Weatherproof(the brand) jacket, 25$ and a ton of food [which I ralfed up later that night] ).
Most of my spare time has been spent taking pictures and hanging out with Trista (GF for those that haven't kept up).
Took some pics at the Club Oly 5k for their december race which went alright. Turned out I had a few ideas that weren't so great, I'll leave them unnamed for now. Also been working on a new print portfolio for the biz. Them things are a lot of work. Also still working on putting the "Emotionary" together and getting ready to go to print.
I'm taking the next week off from work so that should give me some time to get somethings done. First vacation since I started at South Sound Running October of '04 (even if it feels like just a few months ago). Maybe there will even be the odd chance I post on here before my vacation is up ?
For now, I'll leave you with this pic of my ex-running buddy Mike Strong.

Happy New year!

It's been an interesting few weeks.  I've been knee deep in photography, waist deep in the specialty running shoe industry and up to my neck in graphic design, but my head is above water and I'm still breathing.  Anyone interested in my recent art photography can check out my deviantart page http://pawnzito.deviantart.com/.
I've also taken some pictures for the next issue of Shutter42 which I will post up when it's released (I think it's late december/early january). 
Also got another piece into Phirebrush.  This time it was a few issues ago and somehow I missed it.  Check that out here or directly here.
Been working on making a book out of my past project "Emotionary"  It's an illustrated "dictionary" of emotions.  Expect to seemore about that in the coming months.
Running has been here and there but I have not stopped yet so I'm still good.  It has just taken a backburner to the other interests in my life for the time being.  One thing I've picked up recently that I am really enjoying, is meditation and yoga.  It is very nice to spend some time just stretching and chilling, not having to worry about anything.  My life has taken such a different direction recently and so far I'm very happy with it.

Been pretty busy lately.  Between work and play not much time to mess around on here.  Haven't been running too well recently.  Problem is I have so much to friggin too it's hard to find time, but I am running a few times a week at least.
I've been up to my neck in Photographing and a few design jobs.  Recently made the jump for some expensive photo equipment and hopefully will be seeing some nice ROI (return on investment)  soon.

Work has been here and there.  Some days we're slammed crazy busy and others we dead slow and just stand around for hours at a time.  Unfortunately I still have to work 40 a week and not much chance of going home early.
