Dada, dada! I finally made some changes here. By adding some new galleries that reflect the thinking I’ve had about where my work was going in terms of ongoing interests in general and specific project work. I think this will be helpful for visitors to this site. But perhaps even more important, it’s a confirmation that the direction I’ve been heading towards and the trajectory of my thinking and picture making is right … for me.
And here is what’s really interesting … I had been thinking about making a change here for a long time, perhaps a year or more, but I never did anything about it. Then one day a couple of weeks ago I said to myself what are you waiting for? So I emailed Flemming Bo Jensen who originally put my website together when he was one half of Coffee and Magic and lived the life of a nomad photographer. Flemming no longer takes on new clients but focuses on his career as an incredible music and event photographer. Thankfully he still supports legacy sites like mine!!!! His work can be seen at https://flemmingbojensen.com
Anyway, I told Flemming what I wanted to do, nothing drastic. Done in a flash … all the way from Denmark! Then every couple of days I made new requests for changes that more accurately conveyed my thinking and direction. THANK YOU FLEMMING for putting up with me!!! And as I continued to refine my thinking about what my galleries should be about and contain, the better I started to feel! I know this doesn’t seem like something very cosmic, but when I made the final change and saw the result, things just sort of snapped into place!
Each gallery is a more accurate home for the different areas of interest I have and projects I have done and continue doing. If an ongoing project develops a body of work that is deserving of its own gallery, I’ll just create a new gallery! I’m quite certain this simple change to the organization of my pictures is a game changer!!!
It’s funny how little things can make a big difference! Laugh at me if you want but I feel a new sense of focus and energy … just in time for the new year. This clarity arrives hot on the heels of determining what camera(s) to use for what purpose and what situation going forward. Together, a very big deal. More on this to come!
You would think by now I’d have things neatly figured, but some things take a while … and that’s all right.
Stay well and Happy Holidays,
Michael
