It’s been one year on the road for myself and the Digital Photography Mastery blog. A year of learning, trials and tribulations, RV and truck repairs, bugs, paperwork, and chainsaws. Between all of that, I even managed to do some photography. Not as much as I would have liked, however.

Since my last post six months ago, I’ve had a truck breakdown in Tennessee, ran from Hurricane Michael as it devastated Mexico Beach and surrounding communities in Florida, destroyed and replaced the 5th wheel hitch on my truck, and spent the winter snow-birding in the Florida Panhandle.

While in Florida, I was able to establish my residency, breaking those final ties I had to Illinois. I spent many months in and around the Pensacola area, helped a friend with Hurricane Michael damage north of Mexico Beach, and explored the Panacea / Sopchoppy area for the first time. I even befriended a feral kitten hanging around my RV.

The one thing I have not done is post articles to Digital Photography Mastery. For that, I apologize. I sometimes find it easy to let life’s little distractions get the best of me.

So begins my second year on the road as a nomadic photographer. The current plans are to spend a couple months in and around Indiana visiting my parents and making some updates to my RV. After that, head west for the 2019/2020 winter months with hopes of spending a lot of time on Bureau of Land Management property and taking in the sites at some of the National Parks.
