Well as many of you have noticed i have been away from this site for about 3 months.

I want to explain myself as many of you have been asking what's up??

Ever since i began fashion and nude Photography, my wife has accepted it, but not encouraged it.Finally it came to the point where i had to make a choice. My photography or my family. I know i know...its such a crappy situation and every one has an opinion on it..i for one have always said if someone can't except your passions then they aren't worth it, but you see i love my family very much. I have a son, 2.5 years old, my wife is 4 months pregnant, a new house etc..

so after much fighting and me trying everything i could to convince my wife that what i was doing was ok....i stopped.i couldn't take the arguments, the fact that she thought i was disrespecting her..etc..

so i sold my equipment and bought a Harley..in an effort to show her i was serious and tried to avoid everything Photography.

so now i am a voyeur of this wonderful pass time, and I will also begin to do digital paintings etc..of my photography i have taken over the years.

I have not quit forever...but for now.

thank you to everyone who have been a fan of my work, and i hope that you still will enjoy my art, once i begin to post it. I will always be a member of Deviant art, and i will continue to support all of you .


thanks

I know this is more of a forum topic...but i like you guys...so i knew this was the place to ask.

I am having problem uploading my avatar....i use the recommended pixels and dimensions but it ALWAYS says its too big...or ...as you can see with my current one...its so pix elated its crazy.

What am i doing wrong?

I have to say thank you to all of you that helped get rid of [link] gallery!!!

it's such a shame that people have to steal others work in order to get recognized...i was shocked!! But i guess this is to be expected from those handful of "bad" people out there....wait until i tell Christelle that someone used her as there self portrait..HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA

It's amazing that all of you supported me and really went to bat for me in this situation...that's what a community is all about and is exactly the reason why Deviantart is the only real community that i am loyal to on the web.

You guys..and girls are amazing!!!!
