Having my blog attached to my website (gjpearson.com) doesn’t seem to be working very well, so decided to revive this wordpress blog. I might repost some of the images on the website blog, but one can always look at the website for older posts (http://gjpearson.com/site/blog/). Right now I’m reworking the piece called Little Sister. I’ll have a new movie on the You Tube Channel soon. (www.youtube.com/user/garyjohnpearson?feature=mhee)
