No Excuse!

I’ve been terribly delinquent about keeping this photography blog up-to-date! I’ve got tons of photos I should have posted that I need to wade through, and I’ll be doing that in the coming weeks. I also plan to implement a way to start selling prints of some of my favorite shots. I should make that my New Year’s resolution, it’s one I’m likely to actually keep for a change!
Apart from the usual marathon of photo shoots, there’s not much news to report. I have gotten very interested in night time photography. That has required extensive tripod use and reminded me just how badly I need to invest in a new tripod. I have one really good tripod that is built like a tank (and weighs as much as one too) along with several lightweight, cheap (and flimsy) tripods. What I need to do is bite the bullet and pick up a good carbon fiber tripod that is both sturdy *and* light. What a concept!
The challenge is narrowing down the many options to one that is well-built without breaking the bank. I’ll be sure to do a post on that just as soon as I get around to buying one!
Welcome to Autumn

Autumn is starting to roll into the Northwest with a vengeance and I love it. Still plenty of sun here lately but the air carries a cold, crispness. It’s the kind of weather that inspires me to go tromping around in the woods with camera in hand.
At the moment though, I’m actually indoors. Still wearing my fleece pants and old t-shirt, sitting in front of the computer with a hot cup of green tea, listening to the new Mike Doughty album and finally getting around to updating my photo blog. I’m such a slacker.
The nice thing is, now that I’ve wrangled the blog back into shape and updated both Wordpress and the theme I’m using, it will be much easier to post both photos and the occasional rambling commentary. Like this one.
Look forward to seeing and reading new content a little more often from now on!
