Ok, I have been a little slow with the updates lately, but I’ve been busy! Here is a quick run down of all that has gone on in the past month. This will also serve as an overview for the next couple of posts. Well first off the Dodge Challenger calendar was finished, printed, and handed to me. I’ll post photos of it next time! After that, I received my new Nikon D7000… more on that later :) I visited New Orleans for a week. Again more on that later…. See the trend? :) I did game art for a friend on his thesis project. I then worked on the set for Home Creations and took set photography.

   I’ll condense my next post down into a more detailed update on some past projects I finished up. The Home Creations set photography will probably be it’s own post. I should have time this week to make the appropriate posts :) Again I apologize for being a bit late in my updates! More to come soon!

   I found this video extremely informative. As much as I know about cameras, I am unhappy about how little I know about using a flash. I never understood what flash sync or high speed flash sync was until I saw this video. So here I am spreading the wealth. By the end of the year I plan on purchasing my first flash and grappling my lack of flash experience directly.

   Also, we (as in Oklahoma and the rest of the Midwest) have been in blizzard-like conditions for the past four days. I have been able to sink a lot of time into researching what my next camera should be. I will update my blog with a post detailing why choosing a new camera is no easy matter. I’m hoping to ultimately make a quick decision and order it soon. All of this and more coming soon!

   So I’m obviously not a programmer. I can’t read code or even begin to comprehend what the numbers/letters mean. What I am good at is googling. Hence it took me an hour to embed this little music player to the right, and damn it, I’m going to write a post about it. It will probably be updated every now and then with what songs/music has been stuck in my head. Mostly I think it will be relaxing music that I listen to while working on art. My productive music if you will. After all, music is a big part of how I get in the groove and really focus on what I’m creating.

   So the first go round is by a musician I just discovered. General Fuzz. All 5 of his albums are free on his website. Feel free to visit his website HERE if you enjoy downtempo music to zone out to. Give him props and spread his name around.

Ok so now for a proper update. So as of late, my funds have been insufficient, and I’ve had to make some small sacrifices. One of those would be $80 a year for servers. Hence why my blog looks like it’s a part of Blogger… because it is! So I’ve come to the realization that in the span of one month, you should not pay for a trip to New York, rent for two apartments, and dental procedures. After this month is over, I should be on the up and out.

Since blogger is simpler to maintain (for someone who’s not a programmer), I should be making more updates. I’m going to shoot for once a week. These first few posts are basically going to be “catch me ups” on what I have been doing since New York (early July) and on. Expect lots of photos, behind the scenes info, future projects, and current ideas to be expressed.

I’m expecting this relationship with Blogger/Google to be a win/win situation. Please be patient if the blog does not work correctly, or if I’m constantly changing the theme/style until I find something more permanent. Right now, I’m just hoping that people just have to put in the domain name that I bought. It appears to be finicky, but that just may take GoDaddy some time to adjust their DNS settings. So other than that, I look forward to posting more and showing what I have been working on lately. Ciao!
