So about 50 to 75 of you know about the truth. The rest of ya will just have to chalk it up to another episode in my increasingly bizarre and stressful life.

But when I put my pics into storage I saw a way to take advantage of a bad thing and turn it into a good thing. One thing that has been hard to keep up with over the years is the number of comments, faves and watchers I get on a daily basis. As most of you know, I do try. I am pretty friendly and like to respond back to everyone. I see this as a chance to make certain that the people who watch me the most get watched back. It gives me a chance to try and thank as many people as possible too.

Also, over the years, pics have gone in and out of storage and often are not in my gallery in the order they were posted in. Which personally frustrates me. OCD or something. But when you un-store something it does not automatically go into your featured folder. You have to move it there and then it places it right at the top, not in the location it was when you initially posted it. Trying to move them is not easy on this site, especially when you have 3000+ deviations. This gives me a chance to put things back in order from oldest to newest.

It also gives me a chance to offer more full size nude images to download. They will range from 80 points to 150 points depending on what they are. Once this project is complete I will offer more complete sets to download as well. You can really help me out by buying some once in awhile. It will help feed me and keep me from having to go get a part-time job. I'd say 50% of my day is taken up with editing photos. It's time-consuming and frustrating sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't do it if I didn't like it but...

However, as I un-store deviations I will not be including any pics of Kittin Von Kat. This includes her girl-girl shoot with Plush Suicide from Suicide Girls. I would be willing to consider selling her photo sets to anyone who notes me and asks about it. Despite having found someone else, I'm still pretty pissed off with her and I am sure she is as well. But she's still slinging my photos online for cash so I might as well do the same. I just ain't gonna give her any free promotion.

Plush however is a sweetheart and could also use some extra income. I'm sure a lot of you assume this lifestyle is always glamorous and rewarding and sometimes it can be. Two years ago I left the job I'd had for 11 years to do this full time. And let me tell you, sometimes I have STARVED. I had to live in a car for 2 weeks. Some of those nights I managed to find couches to crash on. Thank god for my models and photographer friends. But it was still a scary time. Right now, despite a few issues, I have hope and faith for the future.

Anyway, I have a paid gig tonight which will give me money to mail something off that is sitting here collecting dust and hopefully pay my phone bill. I have also shot and edited a ton of new stuff you haven't seen. Coming soon.

Glad to hear you're not leaving for good. Life sometimes puts us through highs and lows, but having the ability to cope and laugh at it when your ass is on the ground, well, it makes you stronger, sir.
