A buddy, who has always believed in my photography, paid for my membership renewal, if I promised him I'd start shooting again... So, maybe, haha. Sucka!!! kidding... My studio Mac that I edit on crashed. He paid to fix it too. We'll see if the part we ordered fixes it or not... fingers crossed. In return, I'll have to trade some photography work to him for the generosity.
So, I've been dealing with lots of personal change and a few real coming to terms, hardships. It's been one hell of a crazy two years. I left SG many months ago, I think January. Life can be like a street fight... I've been licking my wounds. I guess I'm ready to get back out there and attempt to be social, though it's still pretty hard to do so.
Since I left SG, I've really just been trying to catch up on bills and trying get get things sorted out. The once well paid _MIKED_ is gone and I'm in limbo, right now but I'm working three jobs, trying to find myself and lose that uninspired feeling I've had for some time now.
Photography, I all but gave it up... but never sold my gear and shot friends from time to time. I'm considering shooting again. I was going to sell my 5D3, just recently, to pay off a debt... but fuck that shit, lol. I haven't felt like shooting in such a long time, so I guess I'm on here, toying with the idea of shooting sets again. I used to like it vey much and had gained a good bit of momentum, before I left the site.
btw... my sg sets thread here....

My band dropped two songs this week, which resulted in a manager from LA, who works with Maphia and Red Music, contacting me about managing our band... as well as wanting to shop it to a label... I've been here before, so lets not get too excited but it's decent news for a band who's first show isn't for two more months. To be honest, managers and labels really fuck bands up more often than they help.
I've been riding my motorcycles much more, as of late and am working on doing track days at Jennings gp, as soon as I get my leathers made for me... Ummm, money pending. I'm very much, wanting to do this.
So, anyway, I'm here, for at least a year... Let's see what happens. It will take me a minute to reacquaint myself with the new site and old friends. It looks like some of the glitches have been dealt with, cool! I had some problems when the site first changed over and then quit before they fixed all those little issues.
Soooooo, many new faces... It seems like I don't know that many people on here anymore :/ This may take me a minute to get used to again.
That's all folks... Just saying hello after a loooong hiatus.
