Welcome to my new blog-slash-photography site.

Some of you (bless your hearts!) faithfully followed my previous blog efforts. But my blog shifted from a personal blog to a personal/photography blog. I needed to merge the two, so that I could have my photos readily accessible at all times and not just lost in the flow of the blog posts. So instead of doing a blog that links to my photos, I thought I would try a photography site that has blog capabilities. Occasionally someone asks me if they can buy prints of my work, and since I no longer have my fabulous printer friend (he sold his business, unfortunately for me), I needed to work something else out. I used to be on SmugMug but found it unwieldy and annoying. I tried FourSquare and I just didn't get it at all. Finally, I found ZenFolio. Right now it's just a trial but I think it might work.

What has me decide which site to use? Simple: how long it takes me to figure out how it works. If I can figure out about half on my own, and the rest by watching a couple of tutorials, I'm sold. Honestly I just don't have the time for fancy-ass websites. And honestly this is not going to be a very polished site, at least not for a while. Or ever. Maybe never. Because I have a job. And friends (yes, I have friends, you're one of them, and you know it). And cats. And errands. And I have to exercise, and sleep, and read books, and fritter away time so my brain can regenerate. And it's possible I won't ever care enough to have a super spiffy site.

There is still much to do, I have to figure out the pricing and how this all links to my new printer (I think I may have found one, keep your fingers crossed). I also have to populate photo galleries and figure out how to make them accessible, or if I even need them to be accessible to any degree. And 2 weeks from now, when the trial ends, I might decide this is not it for me after all. Who knows. We'll see. 

Anyway, since I'm not a professional photographer, and I'm not a professional blogger, this is going to be neither fish nor fowl, and both fish and fowl. We'll see how it works. If it works. Feel free to wander about, see some of the photos I've uploaded. I think if you click on the Portfolio link on the top right you should be able to see the galleries I've added so far.

Enjoy.
