Greetings!

Well now. Merry Christmas to one and all! I don’t remember a Museletter landing actually on Christmas before. It’s just another day for me, more or less. It is unique, like every other day, where I love my life and enjoy each day and the friends I share it with. At my age, the people around me are the sweeteners daily, and make getting up enjoyable.

I have some interesting shoots starting to populate my schedule for next year. I’m ready for them with my new lighting systems. I’ve had a chance to use them for several shoots now. I’m so pleased that every flash works like it should every time. An added feature is that they are batteries, so there are no power cords to deal with.

As a special gift this issue I have produced a video from a recent session I had with Keriann. I left in some fun bantering, and you’ll see my unique hair-styling talent show up. I have some new little lapel microphones that would be cool to use if only the models ever had lapels. They are for interviews more than anything, and I hope to chat with some of the ladies occasionally to get their perspectives on art creation.

As you all know, I have started my Blue Sky account and I am loving it. After just two weeks I have over 1k followers. It is very cool that I see anything new from followers as they see all of my work. I’m getting comments and likes as much as I do on Facebook. And I’m following some very talented people. It is always good to have inspiration to get your ideas rolling.

There are some reasons I think this might be a new paradigm for so-so media sites. It is open source, so spin-offs that cover specific topics can use the same media engine yet cater to their specific followers. I think those specialized sites will also be available to discover through the main Blue Sky experience.

The other reason I think it’ll fly higher and be more popular over time is that it allows uncensored material, like my art. The user decides if they want to be exposed to adult or nude content. AS IT SHOULD BE!

On the geek front, I love using my radios up here. One of the bands my antenna hasn’t worked well on previously is working great now, so I’m a happy geek!

Merry Christmas! I guess this means 1/1/2025 will be next Wednesday!
