I am nothing if not a mad scientist, had I any talents in biology or any sort of life sciences I would be the guy in a lab that accidentally created a super hero/villain out of myself and at this moment a blockbuster movie would be in production about my life. It would be a massive success and I would be stumbling out of the car with Paris Hilton as we speak… and my wife would be pissed but she’d understand because I wasn’t myself, it was the mad science that made me freak out.
Alas, I have no biology skills whatsoever… but that doesn’t mean I can’t mess around in a digital lab.
Earlier today I thought to myself, what if I took five beautiful women and combined them into one face. Would the resulting image be some sort of super-villain or simply an ode to the simple beauty that exists in every face, in every girl, in every country of the world. You be the judge.
Lots of people seemed to enjoy reading my old photography blog, I had video tutorials, stories from my shoots, before and after images, tips and tricks, and sneak previews of new work… but the problem is I didn’t love my blog. It didn’t look like my style, uploaded videos didn’t look nearly as good online as they did on my computer, image size and placement couldn’t really be controlled… I finally realized that I loved creating the content but I didn’t love figuring out the blogging technology.
That’s where my new blog and entire new website comes in! I commissioned my long time friend Sterling Okura, a flourishing social media consultant, to create a new blog for me that would be easier to use, have better technology, and would visually integrate with my website. Well, he went above and beyond by not only creating a better blogging platform using customized Wordpress templates but also creating an entire site template that I can edit and change with extraordinary ease! If that wasn’t enough he also integrated my carbonmade gallery into my website, so now updating galleries is extraordinarily easy!
So what does that mean for you, my loyal viewers? Better blogs, better content, more frequently updated galleries, better everything! My old blog will go by the wayside but I plan on reposting some of my most popular stories and tutorials here… keep in touch!
