At the moment just another lost soul...after 10 years of service I was recently laid off on April 22 and have been out of work living "on the dole" since.

It has been an incredibly painful experience. I feel somehow less of a person knowing that there were those of lesser ability but better politicos that stayed while I was let go.

The lemonade has been the dusting off of my cameras (I own everything from vintage rangefinders to high end DSLR's) and a renewed love of photography. I feel out of practice and a bit stiff but just holding the camera again has breathed life back into my soul.
