Muskeg's Mutterings

Journal Entry: Tue Aug 21, 2007, 9:41 PM

::News::
Please bear with me while I get used to CSS...

It's been since January that I last updated my journal, so it's about time for something new, huh?

Summer has been great here in Southeast Alaska, but I've worked too much, and not shot nearly as many photos as I'd have liked to, and two of my favorite models, Mariah and Mallory, have moved away *sigh*... So if you're local (or planning to pass through Ketchikan), chase me down--I'm always looking for models, only more so now. Hell, even Joel (a.k.a. "~koyunbabadaddy") moved south before I could get him in for a real shoot... *BUT* the kids are happy, there's food in the cupboards, and I have more good friends than I deserve, so all is well.

I see I passed 10,000 pageviews when I wasn't looking. What a surprise! I have been very pleased with the support I've gotten from fellow deviants, and am constantly inspired by so much of the great work presented here. What a community!

My youngest daughter :iconlaurengirly: *LaurenGirly has a gallery here on dA, too. I've featured some of her work further down in this journal...

Well, enough of my blathering on for now. Just wanted to give my journal a jiggle. Now that I've updated it for the first time in SEVEN months, I guess I'd better get off my butt and get some more photos posted... Keep your eyes peeled!

Cheers!

Mike Gates a.k.a. "Muskeg"

::Note To Fellow Alaskans::
I know there are some of you here on dA, but I can't find you :( . Use the geography feature to post your latitude and longitude, and we can find one another... It's really pretty easy, and described here:

FAQ #278: In my settings there is a Geographic coordinates section. What is this for? and how do I use it?

It'd be nice to connect up with other photographers, artists, and models in my area for coffee, a coupla beers, or especially for some
collaborative work. If you're in Ketchikan, like me, Here's your Latitude and Longitude:

Latitude 55.3448
Longitude -131.6388

My thanks to *l8 for the flag stamps!

I went to a concert several years ago, and he was the opening act... Just him--solo. I had never heard of him before that. He was awesome. Then, after being the opening act, he was the bass player for the main act, Joe Satriani. Great show...
