I finally got around to changing the look of the website I use. It feels great to change what was dark, heavy, and busy. This new look frees the viewer to focus on one image. Focusing on one image is important because it allows us to decide weather or not we connect with the image. What image(s) did you connect with?

This is one of those things that you should check out. It is a great creation and play on images of words. Some of the designs are very creative with how simple the design.

Beautiful, elegant, simple, and complex at the same time.
Just found this.
I do not know how I forgot about it.
Adam Brockway shared this presentation with me, and I could not help myself from sharing it with everyone else. His story is inspiring, rich, and very hopeful. It inspires me to continue with what I am doing. Pursuing the degree that will allow me to share photography as a learning tool for our future. The way he tells the story through images is rich. Finally, his presentation, and work allows me to hope for a better tomorrow.
It has now been three days of work, and I feel exhausted. There has been a lot of information thrown at us, some a review some totally brand new, but the position is going to take a few days of getting used to.
I have a position as a photographer with Lifetouch studios, and after three days of training things seem to be coming along. The way the business runs the process of taking photographs is great in the sense of getting a lot done in a short period of time. My attention to detail is going to be more important than using my photographic art skills. I do wonder what this change will do in my other work. In a way I think it will help. We will see.
I feel like I have not done anything with my own work, but soon enough I hope to feel comfortable enough with a set routine that allows me to come home and fix, and upload more photographs.
One of my new favorite photographs.
Sunsets are so tough to capture in the sense of being ready for them. They disappear very quickly. Every time I photograph a sunset I am at ease because of the beauty in front of me. Some might consider them to all be the same but in reality they are not.
