Where is Ben?

Heading to Las Vegas for PMA

I'm flying out today to speak at and attend the PMA trade show. I'll be spending the first morning shooting the Racetrack in Death Valley and the last day shooting the Neon Graveyard at the end of the strip.

I'm still not caught up on all my commitments, but I've been making great strides in my photographic processing techniques, which means you should start to see some unique treatments on my upcoming Route 66 images.

Hard Drive Death Delaying Return from Vacation

Hey... where the heck is Ben? Wasn't he supposed to be back from vacation a while ago?

Yup... the only reason I'm not back is because my main hard drive failed and it's taken me a while to get it back and my backup was about two weeks old. That means I lost two weeks worth of work and and scrambling to get caught up with everything.

If you're sent me an e-mail over the last two-three weeks and I did not respond to or contained important information, please send it again.

I'll be back to blogging as soon as I can.

Two Week Vacation from Blogging

Just thought you'd want to know that I'm in the middle of taking a two week vacation from blogging. I'm trying to make many transitions and need to break out of my normal routine. I would like to get back into posting an image a day and more very soon.

Here's an image to tide you over until I return. This photograph was taken in Shamrock Texas. You can even see the bus in the background on the right. I'm nowhere near done with the image, but wanted something to post along with this note.
