I guess I better not call this a photo blog--that infers that there are photos posted here...
I have been kind of busy. Selling some work, with potential orders being worked on and getting images ready to submit for publication (I'll give more info if I'm actually going to get in the publication). Also, submitting a larger framed holga image for the Minnesota State Fair Art Show--it's huge, the show that is, gotta print and frame that by next week. And, just got back from an auction preview that might have some good photo equipment I might be able to use.
I find that I get self doubt regarding my photography and whether it's any good at times and that can derail my progress. Right now I don't have that though. But I do find that when things start to get busy, like they are seeming to right now--it kind of creeps up on me and all of a sudden I realize I'm busy. I notice when this happens, I have a tendency to put the brakes on things. I know why this happens, along with trying to make this photo thing go, I've got two part time jobs and other miscellaneous odd jobs I do for people, like lawn mowing, painting, etc. Oh, and I've got an 8 year old kid to tend to as well. So I get a little freaked out when everything starts going at the same time. And, tonight we have to watch the Tour de France on OLN of course.

Got a nice mention on Alyson Stanfield's blog, she's an artist marketing consultant, with a great weekly newsletter and online classes, and she posted one of my pics as well.
