Moving Day...



Moving Day...So I've been spending the last couple of months setting up a new home for my blog as well as my main site, I've even gone as far as to build a new site entirely as well as setup a place where people can buy my photos for their very own...

Its not that blogspot hasn't been great, it has... I just felt that I wanted to put my own personal touch on the look of my blog as well as have a little more control of where and how the content gets stored. So for now these posts will remain up as an archive of my failed yet somehow very inspiring project-365. I've learned alot along the way and next time (yes, I will attempt it again) will approach it with a marathon not sprinters attitude...

You can reach me at my new site http://www.ptmvisuals.com or the new home of my blog http://blog.ptmvisuals.com, till I see you next happy shooting everyone...

day-365-or-week-52

I've been doing some thinking about my photography over the past couple of weeks and what I want to do with it...I've noticed that similar to other hobbies if you don't practice you get rusty, and to say I'm rusty is a bit of an understatement...so we come to the point of this post...decision time another try at a 365, go easy with a project 52, or take it easy and look for something else to do with photography? Well, I've got time... t-minus 10-days and counting or is it 11?

day-who-knows

Crazy, has it really been six months since I last got around to posting? Can I get a mulligan on this 365? Yeah, everyone said it would be tough...if only I had listened... Life got a little crazy and I got a little burned out...at first I said I would take a day off then a week then a month and then next thing you know here we are 6 months later...Ohh well so be it... we'll try it again...next year...maybe...

T2-008... my favorite on-road RC car, but alas I don't play with it enough to justify keeping it in the house... too many hobbies not enough time, plus for such a little car it takes up quite a bit of space in terms of supplies and equipment required to keep it running... ohh well, it will be missed... but maybe a new lens will help get me through that... :)

Fishtank... I'm helping out Sarah tonight consolidate her fishtanks by taking photos of tanks that she wants to clear out by putting them up for sale. I figured I would put a little strobist spin on a simple photo of a fishtank... on to the next photo...
