My Site is Back!
I haven't written in my blog for over a year, but now it's taking shape. Many new features and tweaks still need to be applied, but it actually looks like a site again!
I've started a new hashtag on social media - #whereinthebuffislivinginthebuff
Yeah, it's a long one, but it feels right with as much as I do and as many events that I cover! So look for that hashtag on Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr!
And enjoy this music while you check out the new look and feel Living In The Buff!

So photography is the path, but my history is filled with a whole lot of technical work. When it comes to storing huge amounts of data, I know the pain we all face. And with photography, it is intensified. In today's digital age, that data is your work, your art, your passion!
It MUST be protected!
The good news is, I'm here to help. Check out my store to take advantage of some great deals on storage and data backup services.
In the technology section you will find Buffalo Networking Linkstations. These are awesome little network storage devices that you can access from anywhere, even on the road, as long as you have an internet connection. They make backing up your photos a breeze! Best of all, they come with multiple mirrored hard disk arrays, so you can be sure that you always have two copies of the photos of the wedding you just shot, or your aunt's 90th birthday part, or your nephew's 1st birthday party, or any of those other once in a life time events that you need to preserve for a lifetime!
On the road and shooting, or traveling for an extended time? Check out a Living In The Buff exclusive! In the technology section you will find a 480GB solid state portable drive that can be connected via USB to any laptop or desktop supporting USB 2.0. Solid state is a great way to make sure your drive is protected from the vibrations, drops and other hazards that can kill ordinary mechanical hard drives.
Need the ultimate in data protection? We also can provide off-site, cloud based backup solutions. No matter how much data you have, this affordable solution will keep your data protected even if a disaster wipes out all of your in-office or mobile storage! And with automated backup routines, you can go to sleep at night secure in knowing that 24/7, we've got your back!
Please check out all of the great technology options in the new store!
And if you've missed the like twice already, you can find the new store HERE!
It has been a long time since I've bored everyone with one of my Sunday Night musings, stories or Vogon quality poems. Here is a little look inside my head from August 29, 2009.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Isn’t it funny how often we consider our own lives and the paths we took, and ask ourselves, “was that the right path for me?”
Ok, maybe I’m the only one. I do self-reflect a lot. I think it helps me re-stabilize myself and figure our just what the hell it is I’m doing. Not necessarily what I’m doing right, or what I’m doing wrong… but just to pay attention to my own actions and how they relate to the things I want.
When I was younger my dream was to move to California and bum around a lot. High ambitions, I know, but I wanted to get away from my family, and the feeling of being trapped by expectations I would never live up to. I wanted to find my own way, learn to live and survive on my own, and become a different person than my environment made me.
Life happens. I never made that trip, and I’m still here. Am I becoming the person I wanted to be? Slowly, I think I am. Do I stay on that path? Not always… life is tough. There is a lot to do every day, tough decisions to be made, heartaches to get past, responsibilities to live up to, tasks to put behind, expectations… always expectations from myself and others…
*whew*
It’s a lot.
But I feel fortunate for the good people in my life that I love and cherish that help me through it every day. They live up to the only reasonable meaning of life I’ve ever found – each of us helping each other get through it, whatever it may be.
Still it comes down to me. What do I want and how do I go about getting it? Questions I ask myself and far too often have no answer to.
But since I’ve stopped travelling I feel like my life has grown a bit stagnant. Time to start looking outside of these walls again…
On Friday March 15th, I took the kids to see the Ellen Cameron Band rock the Comic Book Cafe with some excellent classic rock covers.
But man, they need better lighting in that place....
