Moving Forward at SecondFocus.com

A giant martini glass containing oversized olives stands beside a standard martini in an upscale cocktail lounge. The contrast in scale creates a humorous visual concept inspired by National Olive Day and the idea that olives deserve a much larger glass.

For more than 24 years I have shared my photography, projects, thoughts, and experiences through a blog.

This particular blog began in January 2014 and has grown to nearly 3,000 posts containing more than 3,600 photographs and videos. Before that, I maintained a continuous blog for another 12 years on other platforms. Along the way I have also shared my work extensively across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), LinkedIn, and other online communities.

As this blog has continued to grow, I have found that much of my work is better presented in organized galleries rather than individual blog posts. Whether it is commercial photography, editorial assignments, aviation, food photography, AI projects, videos, or my long-term photographic collections, it simply makes more sense to bring everything together in one place.

This will be the final post on this blog.

From this point forward, my website SecondFocus.com will be the central location for both new work and my growing archive. My intent is to update my galleries almost every day with new photographs, videos, projects, and other content. Rather than waiting for a traditional blog post, visitors will be able to see new work as it is added across the various galleries.

I am not going away.

I will continue to post regularly on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), and LinkedIn, where I will share new photographs, videos, projects, and updates. My social media posts will direct you back to my website, where the complete galleries and collections will continue to grow.

If you have followed my work over the years, thank you. Your encouragement, comments, and support have meant a great deal to me. I hope you will continue the journey with me as I continue adding new photography, videos, and projects.

Please bookmark my website and visit often.

Meet Emily: My Assistant Who Knows Everything

Meet Emily, my AI assistant. She’s been with me for a few months now—writing photo descriptions, crafting social media posts, and diving into research so I don’t have to. She’s efficient and seems to know everything (which is both impressive and slightly unsettling).

She works 24/7, always has a suggestion (even when I don’t ask), and is disturbingly good at keeping me on track. If AI ever breaks out of the screen, I might be in trouble—but for now, Emily is just here to assist… or maybe more!
