It is true, I am still working on the photos from the Southern Fried Sideshow. Here are some photos that I just finished. I love looking through and finding new photos that I did notice on my first quick look. These were misc. moments that made me smile. Not much else to say...I'm still holding out hope that I can go back to school next fall, looking kind of like a no as of right now though. Still looking for call for entries to enter some new work into shows and literary books, and suggestions, let me know. Nothing really happening as of recently, just wanted to share.
