Hello, New Stuff Happening Here

I am totally changing up the format of my website to cater to a changed artistic style. I have been shooting in a more minimalist way, not necessarily compositionally or in technique, but in process and equipment. What has come of this shift is an evolved style, especially in presentation. Less of a gallery or ‘best images' only’, and more of a project, or story-based approach. Most times I go out and shoot, I edit a series (anywhere from two to seventy plus, depending on the outing), and that becomes a mini-series, wrapping up the outing nice and neat. I gradually work on larger scale multi-outing, or multi-year project(s), but that is a lot of work and I don’t have the time in my life to finish those or have the entire process remotely on the radar.

So, I have found this to be a compromise. I will be backfilling some past series, but not everything. Some past ones and all future ones will have a contact sheet of images, sometimes with all of the photos out of camera, and sometimes a representative selection, depending on how many shots there are (can’t have 730 shot contact sheets…). All contact sheet images are uncropped and straight out of camera, no editing. This will help me catalog my creative process and display that to the few that may be interested.

What this is going to replace is the creative function Instagram served for me, but the platform is too distracting for my productivity, and is restrictive in format… This will hopefully serve much better despite the small additional workload of using this website.

Also, all of my previous ‘published’ images that I will not backfill into posts will slowly populate into the rightful homes in the more folder up top. That’s where you can find the non-series gallery stuff.

Lastly, this definitely has a typo or two, but I don’t care. Thanks to the four people that read this all, and enjoy.
