It has been brought to my attention that my two video pieces have been a little buried and made difficult to find. So, until I can arrange a better navigation through my blog here are the direct links to the pieces:

• VC Riding
• Searching for Answers

or, Why I Love Technology...
Take a look at the comment recently posted on one of the photographs I posted to flickr.com recently:

"WOW! I was surprised to see this online as Eleanor was my mother and I wanted to honor her memory. Limekiln Beach is one of my favorite places to visit and so on Mothers Day of 2002 my children and I went up there for the day. We try to do something fun and away from home each year on Mothers Day since her death. Thank you Aaron for the picture as it touches my heart to see it again. Roseanne"

How cool is that!? I've had a great number of individuals or relatives of people I've photographed contact me because they found my photographs through internet search engines; either on my SportsShooter.com, flickr.com or Typepad websites. It's always fun to get feedback from the people most directly related to the photograph about how it effected their lives, how it made them feel or the background story about whatever was going on. This is perhaps the most touching one so far. It's not even a great photograph, just an attempt at macro photography of textures, but it's wonderful to hear that it touched someone.
