2010 … A new beginning
Finally, the revamped blog has arrived and so it’s time to start anew with this blog. I started in October 2008 with the Smugmug site and this blog and over the course of one year tested out what I could do with both mediums. I must say that it all worked pretty well, but not entirely like I had hoped. This mainly because I focused so hard on the site and the galleries (which of course are the “main event”) that I neglected the blog. The blog turned out to be more of a “What’s new on the site” than anything else. And that’s exactly what I want to change in 2010. I know it’s already a month in, but it took me quite a bit more time than I had anticipated.
So what can you expect? First off, the “What’s new on the site” will still be a part of the blog, but in addition, I will post much more. From individual photos I took to reviews and impressions of stuff I tested or just want (I’m on a budget ;-)), from things I find on the web to opinions about photography and what’s going on in the world of photography. I will try to minimize the personal opinions about other stuff to a minimum, but I can’t guarantee anything ;-).
The idea behind the entire revamp is to make the blog the center of my online universe. This universe includes the following online spots:
- The website: http://ronnygabriels.smugmug.com, the place where you can find all my actual photographic work.
- The blog: http://ronnygabriels.blogspot.com, the center where I will post new photos, critiques, opinions, site updates, stories, etc.
- The Flickr gallery: http://www.flickr.com/photos/elron187, this will get a revamp as well to show less of my work, but more of the “special editions” and portfolio material.
- The Twitter account: http://www.twitter.com/ronnygabriels, where I will post small updates, moods I’m in, links to new blog posts, etc.
- The Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com, become my friend and see updates. Warning I use this very scarcely, but I will be posting photographic events I will attend throughout the year.
So that’s my online universe for now and in the following months I will be trying out exactly how and how much I will be using all these media sources, so please bear with me. What rests is to finish this post and start writing some interesting material.
See you soon, Ronny
PS: I started a series of post last year about our trip to the USA and its national parks. You can see all the photos on the site, but I won’t be finishing that series as most of the details would take me way too much time to remember. I will share the best stories of that trip as I post some of the individual photos from that trip later on.
