| As I sit here listening to some Sonny Criss, who by the way was an excellent alto saxophone player, I'm thinking of my next project. Just like a writer, a photographer has to constantly keep things fresh. When you keep doing the same stories, people begin to predict your next book. I liken this to, let's say, The Philadelphia Eagles Offense. When the season starts, the fans are waiting for all of the suprises they were promised in the off season. After a few weeks though, it's back to the air. No matter what they want, no matter what the commentators want, Andy Reid goes back to the same PREDICTABLE passing game. Never mixing things up with the running game. I say that to say this. I must constantly keep my photography fresh. If I don't, I'm sure you won't want to return to my site to see what's fresh and exciting. This is the reason I haven't settled down to a certain subject like most photographers have done. Maybe one day I will, but in this present time, I'm searching for anything that will make me stop, set the camera up, and shoot away. So in my search for my next subject, I commission you, the browser of my site to challenge me. I would like you to suggest different works, different subjects. I want my photography to challenge me. If it means going places I've never gone, so be it. I'm sure John Coltrane did a lot of self evaluation. He was on a quest to find a way to execute certain ideas, certain, phrases. But he had so many that he would try all of them at once. That's how I feel. I want to photograph so many things that I just can't settle for one thing right now. So, I'm going to do my part to keep pushing on. I hope you'll follow me on my journey. Thanks..
