So Saturday and Sunday I had fun, though worked my butt off, working at Spruce Head Pizza. It was nice to go to someplace where I worked and got paid, not something I have done for awhile. For the past 11 years making a living has been accomplished via covering games based on the speculation that I would sell enough photos to survive. For many years I managed to get by, but this past year has been horrible, forcing me to rethink my photography business and what I am going to do with it in the future.

Today I took Maggie May for a walk at Birch Point Beach State Park and got some fun photos. Maggie is always fun to shoot, but today the Lupines were tempting me as were the patch of butter cups. The beach was beautiful, it was about 8:30 a.m. when we got there and there were maybe five people there. Walked the entire length of the beach in a nice slow stroll, actually enjoying walking Maggie. My friends know that is a huge step for me. Here is a sample of today’s photos, to check out the entire gallery Click Here
