So I haven’t updated the blog in a long while. Many changes have happened since my last update in September. The first big change you will notice is that I have stopped the Friday Fotos.

I found it was rather tedious to keep track of the URLs for all the inspiring images I kept seeing. Then it was more time consuming than I thought to create the post each Friday.

But fear not I didn’t completely abandon the concept. Instead I found tumblr. For those of you that are not in on it yet, tumblr is a micro-blogging site somewhere between twitter and a full-blown blog. It is designed to post quick posts like images or videos and is centered around a community of posters that you can share and re-blog the things you find interesting with.

The tumblr model fit what I wanted to do with the Friday Fotos better than a traditional blog post. Now anytime I find an image that moves me I can just post it to my tumblr. So if you have tumblr add me to your dash as nealtacular. For now the link to the tumblr will be on the right sidebar. Eventually I plan a redesign of this whole site and things will move around.

The other big news is that I have created a new website to feature the wild fire photos for this summer. Wild Fire Pics will be designed mostly to hold the gallery of images and link to the photoshelter archive so that visitors can buy prints or license images. Hopefully this new arrangement will push my wild fire images to the top of search results and help me build a reputation as the wild fire photographer.
