"I'm a 100 miles away son, ready to STRIKE!!!" comes the words from one Warren Wallace! Who? LOREN WALLACE!!!! The dude in my avatar! Now I know that most American's have probably seen Warren in the best TV commercials ever made since "That's a Spicy Meatball!" in his Geico gigs, but the rest of you have NO idea what the hell I am talking about! Are you ready? Meet Loren Wallace!!

"I'm a 100 Miles Away Son, Ready To Strike!!!"

"The Story Ends With Me Putting Him In The Wall!!!"

"There Goes Loren Wallace"

So now ya know who the heck LOREN WALLACE is!!!!

So how the heck are you all doing out there? Whew, I have fallen into quite the abyss on here it seems, sorry about that, but honestly I have been doing what I am supposed to be doing, shooting like a complete madman! I now have more images to edit than I have any idea what to even think of doing with! And I will be at it again this whole entire weekend! I will be updating my website shortly with a lotta the shots from where I have all been lately, so you may wish to keep your eyes on that for the next week or so. But as I said, I have fallen way behind. Sorry about that. To my new watchers, thank you for the support, I highly appreciate it! Any questions, feel free to ask anytime!

Got a new lens, it's on the way now. Picked up a Minolta 35-70mm F4 Macro. Supposedly quite a solid piece of glass with some GREAT bokeh. We'll have to give it the run through won't we!

So I suppose that is it for the moment on my end. Hope ya all are doing GREAT out there!
