New Gallery: People

I've created a new gallery: People. I know that this has been lacking in my website for a while. I even had someone ask me the other day if I shot people at all or "just did landscapes," which was the catalyst to stop putting it off launch this gallery. In any case, have a look and tell me what you think. I like a lot of these images, though if I had more time I'd throw some photoshop magic at a few of them to do some B&W and stuff, but as it is now, thats how they came out of the camera.

PixelPost: The birth of a Photo Blog

So all three of you that are keeping up with this blog will be happy to know that I'm going to start posting a daily photo. Justin invited me into the "challenge," which, from what I understand is a weekly or monthly theme and basically a reason to post a photo every weekday. This come right on the tails of getting my new 50mm prime in the mail and just in time to get my Lens Baby 2.0 as well. I'll most likely do a review and gallery of the lens baby because I'm so dang curious about that odd little lens. So far I did a little shoot with the 50mm which can step down to a 1.8, and I've gotta tell you, so much fun. So far, my favorite lens is my work horse 70-300mm tele... this may seem odd, but seriously, I shoot more with this than any other lens. I have to say that without the image stabilizer, its completely useless, so don't "save" money by getting cheap imitations. One day, I'll grab the "L" series telephoto, but for right now, I like this one. In any case, I'm getting a new lens tomorrow and I'm excited so check my daily picture posting often!

Hello Blog-o-sphere

So here I am. I'm revamping my website. I haven't decided just yet whether or not I'm going to completely abandon Joomla or not. We switched to Joomla at work and immediately took a huge hit in the google rankings. Of course, I'm not terribly concerned about rankings for my personal site, but even with that, I don't know if Joomla is all that its cracked up to be. I've never really got a look on my site that I've been really excited about. At best I've settled for it. So I'm considering learning HTML. I've avoided learning code up until this point because I don't like building websites. I like designing the look of the websites and then handing it off to someone else to build and populate it. Recently its gotten to the boiling point where I just need to break down and learn the basics so I don't have to keep bugging friends and co-workers to help me out... anyway, we'll see how it all turns out. This is my first blog. Hope you enjoyed it.
