I've acquired a new roommate, the young gentleman I've mentioned here before, the one who models for me. It's taking some adjustment but I'm pleased with the arrangement thus far. It's rather nice walking out of my studio to find another welcome presence in my home ( Read more... )

I've gotten busy again. These things are so hard to maintain. My life isn't terribly interesting, I'm afraid, much less good reading material.
