The accompanying photo - "Last Trip Out" (and my last cover shot for Traditional Bowhunter Magazine) - pretty much sums up the end of that chapter in my life where the passion for bowhunting, traditional bowhunting in particular, reigned king. That chapter is pretty much over now, with the possible exception of a deer hunt here or there. My passions for photography & flyfishing have taken over, perhaps because of an aging body, or burnout - or both. I've been photographing and writing for Traditional Bowhunter Magazine for 20 years, but it's hard to write and photograph when the passion is gone - and I'm not about to fake it. Many thanks to my good friend T.J. Conrads for the opportunity to be a part of TBM for its first 20 years. I still hope to share a campfire or two with him.
So what's next? I believe I already stated that. Photography & flyfishing. I'm lucky that my wife of 31 years also enjoys photography. She likes golf too, which I predominately suck at, but will continue to play the silly game with her, for comedic relief if nothing else. Or maybe to exhibit feats of strength. How far can you throw a golf club?
Subsequent posts will be about fishing adventures, photo trips, or photo tips should anyone actually find my blog. Or care enough to read it.
Fish on!

Great blog, thanks for reminder about moving the camera with the shutter open. I keep thinking I'll try it, forget, so I'll go try it now. May get something to enter at EPS (or not) Good luck with the fish. With me, it's usually the fish that are lucky.
See ya,
Thor
