You can access it by following the link OR by going to my <a href="http://www.alishastamper.com/">website</a> and clicking on the blog. Having two blogs <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><i>wasn't</i></span> working for me, and since it seemed like all my love and true self was going into the personal work one, (and my thoughts of what could get my work out there more and what <i>other people</i> would want to see, was here on this "business blog"), I decided to only post on the other one. And it was a great decision. It was a year ago, and business has been very good for me. I've loved the things I have created and I'm so grateful, looking back, at the work I was able to accomplish and the people I was able to meet.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, if you'd like to keep following, <a href="http://deardemeter.blogspot.com/">please head over</a>. Otherwise, good luck in your endeavors and pax. </div><div><br /></div><div>Oh, and just because I hate to post without a picture, here is a grape from my sizes series, where I documented my pregnancy with still photographs.</div><div><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ASB8Jp9nNXA/TXF0WUBv6LI/AAAAAAAABt4/-HLarAeXIhE/s1600/Picture%2B36.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 321px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ASB8Jp9nNXA/TXF0WUBv6LI/AAAAAAAABt4/-HLarAeXIhE/s400/Picture%2B36.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580369339970742450" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198987874259877028-1805100855110861344?l=alishastamper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alisha Stampernoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198987874259877028.post-22142758421222449472010-03-28T16:26:00.000-07:002010-03-28T16:30:19.113-07:00this blog is on indefinite hiatus... well, its definitely on hiatus, I just doubt that I will post here again. It was kinda sucking the life out of me. All work, personal and work-wise, will now be <a href="http://deardemeter.blogspot.com/">HERE</a>, on my <a href="http://deardemeter.blogspot.com/">fine art blog</a>.... cause having two is so not worth it.<br /><br />I am no longer in the biz of families and engagements and weddings. NOPE. Its not me. Finally, I have accepted and taken the step (well, this was about 6 months ago, so sorry about the delay on here) that I am ONLY doing large format work. It is specific and specialized and something I love.<br /><br />SO, spread the word. Large format rocks!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198987874259877028-2214275842122244947?l=alishastamper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alisha Stampernoreply@blogger.com1
