Just a plain family portrait

Caira and Garrett together

This will be what you will find gracing my wall upon my return to Ireland.

Return to Ireland? Yeah.

After two years of marriage, two years of laughs, tears, hugs and fears Mariah and I have decided that our relationship just cannot go on as it is. To use that favourite term of celebrities, we have ‘irreconcilable differences.’ Our relationship has devolved to the point that there is no middle ground. There is silence or there is arguments. Nothing in-between us that is positive, not even the kids. And it’s sad to me. I’ve watched our marriage slowly erode away, one gesture or harsh word at a time. But it’s done, it is over.

Practically, I am returning to Ireland early on Wednesday morning coming. With immediate effect, (New) World Photography is no longer accepting bookings. Inquires will be politely referred back to this post. For those who wish to remain in contact with me personally, bhalash@gmail.com is my primary personal email address, and I am still active on Facebook. My Google Voice contact number, 702-473-0907 will remain active, but it will no longer connect to a live phone. You can leave a voicemail or SMS, which I will reply to, or if you feel up to dialing internationally, I can be reached at home in Ireland on 0 11 353 91 569128. This blog will remain active too.

Otherwise, thank you and good night.

Anita's Angels

Here is another sampler from yesterday’s photoshoots at Cottonwood Canyon Park: Anita’s two angels. They spent an hour being thoroughly shy (except when distracted), running…away and being terrified of, for and because of the grass. It was cute.
