Readers... Followers... It has been nearly a year and a half since my last confess... scratch that. It has been nearly a year and a half since my last blog entry. To those of you who have remained on here, I greatly appreciate it. To be quite honest, I stopped posting on here for one simple reason. The security of my images was weak at best. I became like a stingy child when I began to find some of my photographs being posted on other sites, at times with my watermark removed. This is something that has bothered me for quite some time. I have come to the decision to start back up the blog to share photo's of this World we live in and the friends around me for one simple reason... I never intended on becoming a millionaire from this photography thing, I truly enjoy sharing images of things which they may not otherwise experience. That may seem kind of far fetched, yet I think of how widespread this crazy on-line world is and think, if some kid in Kentucky looks at a shot of a wave from an angle he has never seen and smiles, then job one is complete. When I first started shooting photo's, I would give away photo's to people just to make them happy. I want to get back to that place. Happy.

In the past year, there have been several events which have changed my outlook on life. None of which is bigger than my Wife being diagnosed with cancer. Cancer. Just the sound of the word brings fear into people. When someone you love is battling this evil disease, your view on the insignificant things you once held as high concerns are now put into perspective. Family and friends are the only thing that matter. The car you drive, job you have, money in the bank... These are all material items. Love. Life. Happiness... These are what matter.

I have, since my last entry, started my own website (www.jeremyphillipsphotography.com) and really focused on my photography. If for nothing else, it makes me happy. I will maintain this blog as a way to further share my view of this crazy World we live in. I hope you enjoy reading my rants and seeing things through my eyes even if just for a moment.

Aloha all. See you regularly on here hopefully. Feel free to contact me through my website. There are many more photo's on there for you to view and purchase if you like. I will update this site with new photo's daily as I am able to.

Peace and Love- Jeremy P
