I've typed and retyped this post what seems like 1000 times.
Friday was officially my last day with Scenic Route.
The economy has affected so many of us in so many different ways. And now it's hit really close to home. About as close to home as it can get.
For those of you Scenic Route lovers, and I know there are a lot of you out there, you may be wondering what's next for Scenic Route. From what I understand, they're still planning on a new release - you should find images on the Scenic Route website in the next week or two. Please know that Scenic Route is still a great company, one I strongly believe in. They're just doing what's necessary as a business in these tough economic times.
For those of you that are passionate about this industry, as I am, keep good thoughts. Good thoughts that this industry will pull through.
As I was receiving emails back from business contacts and friends on Friday and over the weekend after I sent out my announcement, one has stuck with me. From someone I've never met. Someone that I corresponded with a few times over the last few months. He said, "When one door closes, the next door opens, and it generally opens wider than the one that closed". He'll never know how much I appreciate that email and how much I'm holding onto that thought.
So now, I move forward.
What comes next, time will only tell.
I'll still be here. On the blog. Scrapping away and documenting life as I have for the last 11+ years. It's still an important part of my life that I can't imagine going away, regardless of what happens.
Here's to open doors.
