Heya, folks ~
With the close of this calamitous year of 2020, and with a general sense of existential exhaustion in the air, I’m retiring Floridensis and personal website management for the time being. Floridensis has taken quite a bit of time and energy to maintain and build (not to mention $$$), and I’m feeling fairly weathered down by everything. It’s been a long couple of years, and I want to clear the air for 2021, so to speak, and simplify my digital life.
I’ll leave Floridensis up for the time being, but I probably won’t be updating it anymore. I will continue to be active on social media, however. Feel free to follow my photographic exploits on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/floridensis/. You can also find me trolling along the digital malarkey on Twitter (https://twitter.com/floridensis).
I wish you and yours the very best in 2021!
ADDENDUM: I’m maintaining the floridensis.com domain for now — in order to preserve links, site hierarchy, and the like.
Best,
Janson
