Giving Birth - And A Cry For Help

I'm the proud papa of a new website. It's called lenscapes. I have threatened promised to do a website devoted to my photography for way too long. They say getting started is the hardest part... well, I got started. So stop by, take it for a test drive, kick the tires and let me know what you think. There's a lot more content coming.

Here's the cry for help. My good friend Shaun Murphy has spent most of the last 16 years singing with Little Feat. As even further evidence of the toll the economy is taking, she was let go last week. Shaun is one of the most amazing people I know. She is an incredible singer and she's a great tailor. The loss of her job has put her in an immediate precarious financial predicament. Her fans are reaching out to help. If you can lend her a hand, it would mean the world to her.

Friend and fellow fan Gerald Lawley wrote an excellent post about Shaun's situation and how you can help:

I'm selling photo prints with all proceeds going directly to her. She also makes and sells very cool shirts! Thanks for lending her a hand.
