Hey everyone! Yep, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here on the old blog. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been out shooting – just the opposite! Granted, I’m not out every day like I have been in the past – life gets in the way much too […]

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year and Happy Holidays! We’ll see you next year – which should bring some more posts and tons of photos. Stay tuned! Thanks! Tom Nanos
