I have spent the past 3 days editing all my photographs on deviantART to have descriptions that include the following text: This photograph is the sole property of the photographer, and may not be used in any way, shape or form without her written consent. There is already a copy-write logo under each image, and it is "protected" by that copy-write, but it doesn't seem to have changed the fact that a photo of mine has been stolen, and used for another photographer's personal gain. Don't get me wrong - this isn't some pity party plea game. I am not the first photographer to have something stolen from them, and I am far from the last. I will

North Carolina has not seen snow like this in five years. Wandering around the city, I found a tiny forest and decided to make my time photographing it. After editing and selecting, I decided that it would be prudent to dedicate it as an ode to Ansel Adams, who had the right idea about snow and black and white photography.

Four years ago, my parents gave me a dulcimer kit for my birthday. For those of you who don't know whata dulcimer is, think of a slimmer dobro. If you aren't familiar with a dobro, then think of a guitar, only the neck is on top of the body, and it's way skinny. And you lay it across your lap to play it. They are so cool. Anyway, I finally started building this thing, and decided to document it. Building my own instrument has given me so much more love and respect for the 2 guitars I already own, and is lighting a fire beneath me to scope out a mandolin kit, and, eventually, building my own guitar. I hope you enjoy the pieces in the series.
