I know I haven’t been back onto the blog for a bit - I’ve been neck deep in reviewing my book layout that came from publisher, AND designing a new website, which will be launched in the next few days, with any luck.  I’m switching to a content management-based site, which in plain English means I can change/add pictures from anywhere on the road, whenever I have internet service - yippee! That will make it easier to change my workshop schedule page, and add new photos I want to share as I go. But it’s taken quite a lot of work to think up a color palette, style of layout, and then set it all up and prep the pictures/upload them, and the only way to get through it is to simply ‘disappear’ into the office and the management program to learn how to do it all! There are several good companies out there providing template base websites - Betterphoto being one of them amidst others, but I chose to go with BigBlackBag.com for my commercial site. I have a site with Betterphoto too, with a somewhat different sampling of my images.

While choosing/prepping images for the site, I discovered a picture I had forgotten I made. It was last light in Yosemite, one late Autumn day, when we had just a dusting of snow that day.  As the storm was clearing, fog formed off the tops of most of the peaks and domes in the valley. The light was sweet - and it represented what so many of us go after when photographing in that part - dramatic light! Ansel Adams would be smiling, I think.

Create a great day!
