A very positive outlook...I do think that when shows get cancelled everyone looks at the actors and wonders what will happen to them, but rarely thinks about all of the people on the crew and about how they are out of work as well. I can't imagine the uncertainty of being in the entertainment business where your future lies in the hands of incredibly fickle viewers and network execs.

So can you tell us what show now? My money's on Judging Amy. :D

I'm looking forward to reading about all of your new adventures in life. I'm sure it's going to be everything you've imagined and more in a thousand different ways.

I do know the show, and am ruefully pleased because, after 2 excellent seasons, it seemed about to jump the shark in a big way,

Meanwhile yes, sometimes the indicators nudge us in the direction we want anyway....Think what sad news this would otherwise have been, and now it feels a friendly bon-voyage!

Well, it's a shame that you're not coming up to the Great White North, but it sounds like New York is going to be an excellent move, and I bet it's going to work out beautifully.

Just stumbled upon your photoblog when googling "jacarandas in bloom in L.A." and have spent a wonderful time seeing my native home through your keen eyes and droll wit. It's as if Cartier-Bresson had turned distaff, gave up Paris for the lure of Hollywood, and spent his/her days amusedly documenting the bizarre juxtapositions of this--this modern Babylon, this 21st-century gold camp. I was disappointed to see that you stopped posting your images in 2004! Of course life takes precedence. Now I understand that you may have to relocate, but I'm sure you'll document your new surroundings with a similar acuity. Perhaps a random fan could encourage you to update the site as a final postcard *to* L.A.? It's such a great showcase for your talent. You've inspired me . . . and made me look at my city in a new way.
Best wishes, Nancy in Los Feliz

My brother lives in L.A. and has been employed at a large animation studio for a decade. In fact, he just finished work on The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. But next month he's coming east for a visit with his wife and infant son, to figure out alternatives to life in L.A. He's not sure he can handle NJ/NY winters anymore and is looking around Chapel Hill, North Carolina too. But basically he's looking for options.

After years of telling me I should come out to L.A., he finally realized what I've been saying since I started my family almost nine years ago -- I can't raise a family in L.A. I'd have to give up too much. Not that I wouldn't mind visiting. I like the L.A. vibe. But I still prefer NYC.
