Who am I kidding...

For those few faithful viewers, I apologize for the delay in the new site design that I have promised.  Once again the only excuse I have is severe lack of time.  I am continuing to work on it and will have it up soon.  Every time I think it is ready I get a different idea and mess things up.  Thanks for your patience.


On another note, I was picked up by iStock photo yesterday and will begin selling images through them very soon have posted a few images but not sure if I want to sell microstock yet.  I know there is a great deal of controversy out there concerning microstock agencies, but hey, the business model works for me.  I obviously don't have the time or energy to market and distribute my work on my own right now.  Therefore, I'm okay with someone taking care of that for me and giving them a substantial cut as a result.  The best analogy I have is that I can sell a single image one time for $300 after investing loads of time and energy in marketing the image, or I can sell the same image 300 times for $1 after taking two minutes to upload it.  Works for me.


I have added a slew of new lighting equipment to my arsenal and will hopefully soon have a good handle on artificial lighting.  I have always been a purist in regards to light and shot strictly natural light until recently.  I stumbled across a fantastic blog about lighting at Strobist and realized that learning artificial lighting, particularly off-camera flash, can only enhance my understanding of light and improve my "vision."  If you have ever had an interest in photography, I encourage you to take a look at Strobist.  You'll find months worth of articles and free lessons.  Incidentally, that is exactly the sort of thing I hope to develop through my website.  So much to do, so little time.  Life is grand!
