Taos, New Mexico. I’ve been home for the past two weeks. This is the first time my family’s visited Taos for the holidays, so it was a busy period of catch-up, skiing, hiking, and general merry-making. It was nice taking time off from work, though I still have another great shoot from Columbus, Ohio to post: Pipe Organ tuner Scott Gorsuch from Bunn=Minnick Pipe Organs.
To all those who’ve emailed me feedback on the launch of the blog, a heartfelt Thank You! I’m looking forward to version 2, which will roll this project out to the world at large. Please continue to be involved!
Here’s to a continued economic recovery, and a prosperous 2011 for you and yours.

Hi Troy,
I just ran across your website, & I love it! I love the awesome stories & amazing pics. I’m a sucker for both! Trades are a great storyline too! I look forward to reading more of these inspiring stories! Keep up the great work!
love your pics!
Hi Troy,
Nice to hear from you yesterday. I thought I’d post a brief “hello” for now. I think you are on to something. I’m in the middle of my day right now. I will look forward to reading the stories you have written when I have a little more time and giving you some more detailed feedback. Your photos look really great! As I mentioned , I have been in somewhat of a lull workwise at the moment. Hopefully something might come up before too long which would be worth you taking a look at. Alternately I may just have to design another spec piece which might have some interest for you as far as a photo shoot. Best wishes, Peter
Hi Peter~ Let me know as soon as you have have a project to photograph. I think your craft as a furniture designer and woodworker is absolutely appropriate to the Journeyman Project, and a lot of people would find your work captivating.
You’ve been working on the layout and design flow. Nice, Troy. Beautiful photos, by the way. What an eye. I’m keeping my own eye on this; it’s progressing nicely.
I look forward to seeing what 2011 brings your way and to us through your blog. Cheers!
