It's been a very long time since I've updated this blog, my apologies.
Due to serious health issues, I had to permanently shut down The Intrepid Lens quite some time ago. Both my portrait and fine art businesses have been closed.
If you wish to follow my personal blog, it's http://withoutamanual.blogspot.com
Best wishes,
Sandy

New Website - and finally viewable on mobile devices!
With no longer being able to do Portrait sessions, it was time to take down that part of my website (that hurt a wee bit, at this time of year I'd be busy booking spring and summer sessions - I miss photographing my lovely families more than I can express).
I thought why not refresh the site while I'm at it? And how about adding HTML so that everyone can view it from mobile devices?
The HTML runs a little slower than the Flash site - but hang in there - it does come up!
I hope you enjoy the selection of images I've posted, I'll switch it up from time to time. Each image has a story to it and brings back a warm memory about how I was feeling when I took the shot (except for the ones taken in deep winter - I remember frozen toes and fingers in a determined effort to get the right angle!)
A few friends have asked me if I'd be willing to help out newer photographers with questions they may have, critiquing images etc. - and I'd be more than happy to - it'll help keep me out of trouble! I always enjoy seeing other photographers' work and talking exposures, lenses, Photoshop...
The best way to reach me is by email at sandy@theintrepidlens.com
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Time to Hang Up My Hat
As you may already know, poor health has led me to shuttering my photography business. You can read more about this very difficult decision by clicking on this link.

I have a rather large inventory of photography equipment, display equipment, business supplies available for sale - or free to a good home in some cases :-)
An email was sent out to interested individuals yesterday listing just a small amount of my inventory. Rather than bombard with frequent emails - I'm going to use this blog as a place to visit if you're interested in anything I may have on offer. I'll update it frequently as I come across items (I'm moving a little slowly these days), or as items are sold.
Here are a few items, more coming every few days. Please note that all items must be picked up from me in north east Burlington, I'm often not well enough to get to the post office to ship items out. Payment is by cash or PayPal (for purchases over $100). If you have questions about any items, please don't hesitate to email me at sandy@theintrepidlens.com.
Regards,
Sandy
