It has been a little way too long since I've had a decent website up. In fact, many could easily argue that I've never actually had a decent website up and running. The first one at this address definitely at least held the place down, but I mean, come one. If I was to leave it at that, not a single person would have even come close to taking me seriously. Plus It didn't have any way for me to reach out and communicate with all of you awesome people. The second attempt was much better, but it had so much wrong with it. Everything was jumbled up, there was no clear direction to any of it. I basically had found what chaos actually looked like, and put it on the internet. But you have to start somewhere, right? Now, I've simplified a lot of it. I've organized my art in several sections of one gallery, I've developed a page just for online store and affiliate links, and I've added a page just to announce separate competition entries and wins (if there are any). Now we grind. I am constantly taking my camera with me everywhere that I go, capturing everything that I possibly can. You never know when you'll find that next golden shot. The YouTube channel is also on the verge of being turned on because I have finally landed on a theme/subject to put up. As a beginner in the photography world, I have been slowly learning everything, little by little, and sometimes it can be a real pain. The slow speed that I have to pick everything up at is enough to drive someone like me crazy. So on the YouTube channel, I am inviting everybody, beginning photographers, experts, and and those that can appreciate the arts alike, to join me in my journey as I learn everything, one technique and setting at a time. I'm going to be reviewing each setting in depth and screwing around with them to capture different shots and effects. I'm going to be posting videos that point out every mistake that I make as I go (and there is no shortage of those so far). And I'm going to of course sprinkle in a few videos on inspirations to me through music or the arts, and just what's going on while I continue to try to get better at photography. So join me on YouTube, come visit my social media profiles (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), and just enjoy as I look for the best ways to handle this journey and keep trudging forward. I've missed you all while I was rebuilding this website. In fact, it is you that keeps me going. Thank you all for the support and keep watching. This is going to get fun. See you all on the other side!
