Read MoreWelcome!
This is my blog and I do whatever I want here. I write my thoughts about things and short stories, I take photos and have lots of book reviews. HOME is the main page for the blog but I want people to see my new T-shirts for sale on the PRODUCTS page so that is my homepage for now. Use the search bar at the bottom of this page to discover more posts. Use the ARCHIVE page to see all my posts. Categorical searches will also yield good results for those who want more of a specific group of posts such as “Photo Journal” or “Book Review”. Check out the OLD BLOG for over 270 posts that go back to 2010 and get your prints at the STORE!
Thank you!
