I'm not sure how, but somehow I missed that this site had been created earlier this year. It did not miss the events leading up to it, but the less said about that, the better.
In any event, I'm happy to see so many familiar faces here! It's been a trying year for me with the death of my father and many other personal and professional challenges, and regrettably my photographic explorations have suffered a bit. I'm looking forward to some new inspiration in the new year!
