I posted my one-thousandth 'SF Street' series photograph tonight, and while I believe talking about such things is incredibly mundane, I really can't help but sit back and marvel - if I can call it that - at my own output over this past year.

It occurred to me that to focus on something like this for as long as I have is all so incredibly, exasperatingly single-minded. It then dawned on me that single-mindedness is what I embody. I seem to do everything in my life exactly this way. Sometimes it's a strength, other times it's not.

When I moved all the photographs over to this new server I had to view every single image to make sure nothing got broken in the transfer. Most everything in my archive is still, today, stuff that I'm proud to show people.

I quite purposefully set out to build a credible body of public work, and while it continues to grow every week, I believe I've accomplished this task.
