First ever

There's always that hesitation before the first blank page, or blank screen, as it were. I've found that I'm getting too wrapped up lately in submissions and the mean old acceptance/rejection wheel, and I'm hoping that writing it out will bring me back to the importance of the images themselves. Of course my fear is that the blog will become a new way to avoid the sometimes tough business of editing and retouching, but I've been mulling it over for a while now and today, for who-knows-why, I found myself taking the plunge. Be gentle on me.
