So, a couple of months ago I deleted a pile of my photographs that were showing up in my Google photos. Thinking I had never added any of the photos to my Google photos, I DELETED THEM.
Then I stopped by this blog. Imaging my surprise when I saw a bunch of empty boxes on this blog where photos should be. Hey Google, you could have had a warning when I deleted such as, "Are you sure you want to delete these pictures? They are linked to your Blogger account."
It would be a ridiculous time suck for me to figure out what photos should be in the empty boxes so this blog will now remain dormant.
I now have a new blog within my website - http://www.cheshercat.com/blog - and I hope to see you over there.

My Dying Blog
Every once in a while I get a new comment on one of my old posts. It's then that I scold myself for not posting like I used to...letting the place fill with cobwebs. Not honoring the musicians I've shot. Not posting pictures.
So here I am. Writing. At least a few words to see if I have anything to say. Things have been crazy for me. My life has been less than stable. My income sporadic. And I find it hard to "share" when I'm not in the best of spaces...literally and metaphorically.
But then some nice person stops by here, having found one of my stories that brought back some fond memory for them. They leave a little 'thanks for the memory' note and it shows up in my inbox. And makes me feel like I am failing to do my part. I should be keeping this place alive.
But like I said, I'm not much in the mood most because I'm neck-deep in dealing with someone else's problems. And then I need to prepare to file my oh-so-late tax returns. And all the pictures I need to edit. Things I've promised to do for people. Things I've promised to do for myself.
Ah, the things I've promised to do for myself. Maybe those are things I should share in this forum. Maybe someone out there knows someone that might have some ideas of how I can accomplish the things I've promised for myself. Yes. Right after I catch up on the promises for others.
In the meantime...I've been thinking I should maybe post a picture a day. Earlier today I decided I am posting a new photograph on my Facebook photography page...yup, I've been pretty lax over there too. I posted a photo earlier this week and another one today. And I will post one tomorrow. It would be nice if you clicked over there and checked out another facet of my work...Chesher Cat Photography.
I am also going to do my best to put a new photograph on this blog every day. A music-related picture that I have taken. Some new, some old. Let's see what I have on my hard drive.
Okay, this is what happens when I decide to crawl out from under my rock. I spend a bunch of time looking through files trying to find something I want to post. When I finally find something and get it ready to go I do a search to make sure I identify the musician correctly, which generally means doing a search on the band and then on google images. This time I picked BST drummer Bobby Colomby. As I'm scrolling through pictures of him and thinking about how hot he is I suddenly come to the picture I was going to post. Yes, I already posted that one. One this blog. Oops.
So here's one I haven't...at least I searched their name on the blog and came up with nothing. Even though I thought I had posted it before.

The Hudson Bros.
That's it for today. The Blogger people have changed the formatting on posting. I don't like it. I can't find anything. I guess I shouldn't have abandoned ship. If you're someone who's been following my blog thank you for sticking around.

Support the Arts
I announced my new project in my last post. Now I have the details!
End of the Innocents is my short film adapted from my new feature script of the same name. We are planning to shoot the short at the end of June and are currently in high gear pre-production. Securing locations, putting together an awesome crew and also looking for the perfect actors to bring this story to life.
So far we have attached:
JOE LANDO
His resume includes seven years a
Byron Sully on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,
amongst other impressive credits.
And,
EVE MAURO
Eve's talents can be seen in Land of the Lost and
recently in episodes of CSI Miami and Bones.
Raising money for artistic endeavors is extremely difficult in the best of times. And since this is a not-for-profit project, I'm doing my best to offer valuable gifts in return for your monetary gifts. Making this compelling and important movie means everything to me. If there is something I can do for you - such as a photo shoot, a poster design, a consultation or photography lessons - I am totally available in exchange for a donation to my Kickstarter page.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions or suggestions about how I can get this film from the script to the screen: innocents@cheshercat.com
And please tell all your friends about the project by linking them to my sites:
Kickstarter: http://kck.st/mQlisE
Chesher Cat: http://www.cheshercat.com/overview.html
This blog post: http://everybodyishotisdead.blogspot.com/2011/05/support-arts.html
The Kickstarter page is the page where I will be posting frequent updates. There is already a video of Eve Mauro and a 'Backers Only' post where backers can read the first two pages of the script.
