When Life Gets Busy, Personal Projects Take a Back Seat

rocks

It’s true. At least, it is for me. Life has been busy lately, and my personal projects have suffered as a result. I have not been putting as much effort into achieving my personal goals as I would like. I have even questioned whether it makes sense for me to maintain this blog, although my posts have been so infrequent, I suppose I haven’t really been “maintaining” it as such.

I am planning to increase my online presence as a means of displaying my ongoing artistic endeavors, which provide me much enjoyment, but not to the detriment of providing for my family. With that in mind, I’m setting deadlines and planning schedules. So, look for new content coming soon, and I hope you enjoy. As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated, unless your trying to sell me something for male enhancement. Thanks! =)

Runner-Up!

Cloud Morning

After just finding out about this contest on Tuesday, which happened to be the deadline for submissions, I decided to go ahead and submit one of my older photos for consideration (picture above).

I was shocked and overjoyed to learn this morning that my photo was a runner-up, with honorable mention on the Tips From the Top Floor Podcast!

It’s a great honor to have a photo I’ve made complimented by a photographer whose work I admire!
Much thanks to Chris Marquardt!! =D

So long, and thanks for all the spam.

Comment Spam

Well, it’s been 31 days since my last post, and that’s just way too long! So, I wanted to give a big shout-out to all my comment spammers. You know who you are!

All you ‘bots who spend your zombie boxes’ precious CPU cycles sending me link-riddled comments which I subsequently dig through and moderate as spam… This post is for you! I just want to let you know that I really value all the internet background radiation that you output, and appreciate all your wasted attempts at generating SEO-gaming link farms on my little portion of shared webserver.

To everyone else who actually reads my blog, I’m sorry if this post doesn’t really apply to you, but I just wanted to take this time to give a little “love” back to my most prolific and productive comment authors. They may not be real people, or even leave comments with intelligible sentences, but they are an ever-present reminder to me of just what kind of world the internet is. So, thank you to all my loyal real-people readers, but a special thanks to every malware infested un-patched computer which acts as a vector for spamming my account. I love you ‘bots!! XOXO

Interdimensional Dating?

I was shocked to read this!  Do we need a proposition to define marriage as between two human beings!?

Where do you stand on 2-D / 3-D marriage?  What would that be called?  “Interdimensional Marriage?”

Is Dubai the new Babylon?

Does anyone think that this:

is a little too similar to this:

I wanted to know if it’s just me.

Photography News

Half Self

Great news! I finally got a new flash unit for my camera. It’s an SB-600, which means it can work with the camera to automatically determine the amount of light it should output - very handy in situations where you don’t have a lot of time to set-up and stand around taking test shots (such as weddings). I’m really excited about testing it out and getting out there and doing some more photography work. I’m still in the process of setting up my dedicated photography website and having business cards made. In the meantime, if you know anyone who needs portraits or a photographer, consider sending them my way!
