Glad you found your way here! Always great fun to enjoy the work of a good photographer, too.

You list a lot of reasons why I slowed down my 'standard' social media usage, too; it's discouraging to work hard to make someone else really rich. I still use them, but primarily for flippant purposes; good work is put in a location where I can retain a sense of ownership, so to speak.

Glad to have you here!
