Just a quick post to say that I am currently working on a restructuring of my website. So, the blog posts will be spread out a little more than normal. I will still try to do one every couple weeks while I work on this web design stuff. Once that is finished, I intend on going back to my regularly scheduled Tuesday evening posts.
My website is nearly two years old now and I need to make a few changes. It won’t be anything too drastic, just some restructuring. My current portfolio is too generic for categories, so that will be splitting up some. That way people that just want to see family portraits, for example, won’t have to look at the horror film commercial type work. I think as a whole, this restructuring will be good for clients and make it easier to find what they need. The blog itself won’t really change at all and I intend on covering a lot of the same topics still. I plan on getting more interviews in the future, hopefully more critiques of work and of course my own process posts.
If you have any comments on my site as a whole, now would be a great time to voice them. Let me know either in the comments here or send me a message.

I’m happy to finally announce my studio remodel of the old granary building is one step closer to completion. If you missed the first post on this, you can view the initial studio photos (including outside) here. I have just finished step one, which was to clean it all up and a little bit of demolition. I am actually about 95% complete, because I still have to pressure wash the entire thing, to remove all the cobwebs and bird nests and their little presents on the floor and, hopefully, some of the oil from the floor.
So here you can see some of the space. The first one here has me sitting on the table to help judge space and scale. I don’t have a really wide camera lens (lowest was a 38mm effective) so it was difficult to show the entire area.
As for the demo work, I removed all the rigged up counter tops and the short walls in the main room. I do still have to remove a few screws and nails from where I tore boards off, but those will only take a couple minutes.
I am super excited about this step Read the rest of this entry »

I recently put a whole slew of stuff in the various portfolio sections. Some of it has been shown on the blog before, but I’ll repost them here anyway.
These are available to order as a fine art print:

Well, I guess I can say I made it. It’s been one full year since the first post on my blog. In celebration of this accomplishment, I am having a photo giveaway. More about it at the end of the post.
So what have I accomplished through this blog? It hasn’t gone too far yet, but over a year I have had 60 posts with a total of 129 comments. The site as a whole has had 2,453 visits from 2,102 unique visitors across a slew of countries.

I have begun a new pretty ambitious project. I am retrofitting an old wooden granary into my working studio. I am not entirely sure, but I believe it was built in the 1970s, but possibly earlier. The only reason I think 70s is because of a grain ticket from that era that is on an interior wall, though that really only says that is when it was once used to hold grain.
Here is the front, North and west side:
Here is the back, South and East side along with two of my four dogs:
