Back in the fold

Yeah, yeah, I know. We haven't updated in a while. Been busy, very busy, opening a new studio and gallery in Floyd, Virginia.

The studio, called Blue Ridge Creative, becomes the focal point for our operations.

For those of you who don't know, Floyd sits in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, about 50 miles Southwest of Roanoke. I spent a good part of my young life in Floyd (ages 5-8 and 12-17), worked my first newspaper job at the town's weekly (The Floyd Press) and graduated from Floyd County High School where I was school photographer.

So opening the new studio was a homecoming as well as embarking on a new venture. It will allow us to explore a new area of photography as part of Floyd County's growing arts community and give us a base of operations away from the hustle and bustle of Washington (although we will alternate our time between Floyd and our home in Arlington).

Visit Blue Ridge Creative when you get a chance. Now that we are settled in, American Newsreel will resume.
