I have become acutely aware that being open and available online has been fraught with uncertainty, because it has often ended up being seeded with subtle and occasionally containing overt offence. It has at times been rather unpleasant and quite frequently unsettling.

Even responding to numerous e-mail questions about things photographic had become increasingly time consuming, and in most cases a quick and simple "thank you" was often never returned.

The unvarnished naked truth is this, being available online has definitely been inconsequential to my inventive ongoing vision questing journey. Therefore after much consideration, I have decided to embrace an exclusionary state, opting to purposefully sequester and seclude myself, this in order to save much precious time and maintain a sense of prevailing dignity and intrinsic self worth.

Therefore I have entered into an exclusionary state of "aesthetic exile", despite it being a more solitary journey in life, it is never the less, a more highly productive even an inspirational creative realm to exist in.
