So it's that time of year again. What time?

The time when all the celebrations of the old year are done, and a new one begins cold with expectation. The time when we've put on a few pounds to insulate us from the chill, or we sleep in to conserve our bodies' fuel to keep moving during dreary days. This is the time of year when ponds freeze over, bears go into hiding, and the land itself becomes as hard as stone.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's right, it's time for MANCAMP VI. See you Monday, have a good weekend.....

I'm back...where?

So more than sixteen months after my last post, I begin by saying I'm slightly adjusting the purpose of this site to include whatever i'm working on at the time, be it art, travel, phtogoraphy, or whathaveyou. By "whatever" I really do mean a potpourri of images ranging from what I'm renovating around the house, sketches from recent drawings or paintings from my studio, pseudo-photography from around the farm where I live (above), or photostories from my travels across the country and beyond. Who knows which of YOU may show up in these stories....

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ANYTHING SO FAR OR DON'T PLAN ON READING ANYTHING AFTER, HERE'S THE GIST: i recommend you visit this blog as often and as soon as you have this question: "What the heck is Tony up to these days?" Your questions may not be fully resolved, but you will get the general idea. (If you're looking for my artwork, it's best from here on out to go straight to www.tonysobota.com.)

To commemorate this event, here's a silly haiku (Basho parody) to explain the photo above, a little something that comments on, as we are oft to think this time of year--the experience of "launching into the unknown" (hopefully with a better ending....)

Ice pond,
