Where have I been?

Hey there everyone! Seems like it's been awhile since I posted a new blog. So where have I been? Working on finalizing a new project with Jeffery Saddoris that we call Faded and Blurred.

What is Faded and Blurred? In one word, community. A place where we openly share ideas, concepts, and knowledge. A place where "We look out for each other". Where we help each other. Where we nurture each other. Where we learn from each other.

It is our hope that it becomes an interactive experience. Going forward we will be adding forums and tutorials to ask and answer questions. We expect a high level of participation. The home page is up, the blog is up, the info for our 1st walk is up. You did know about the walk, didn't you?

In the spirit of keeping it easy, we have built in Facebook integration. If you have a FB account, you can log in, leave comments, post topics and replies in the forums, all with your current FB info.

We have plans for doing many photowalks. We hope to use these as a way to meet you, share and laugh with you, motivate you, get the creative juices flowing, and most importantly, help build the community. We also have plans to help out local causes. Hopefully be able to organize our ranks, and loan our services to people and causes in need. The most important thing any organization can do to promote their cause is to attach a face to it. We want to help create those images. We want you to help us, so we will occasionally put the call out for volunteers to help us do that. What does that mean? It could mean taking pictures. It could mean requiring professional services. It could mean requiring some elbow grease and muscle. Whatever we can do.

Please, go have a look around. Tell me what you think. Remember, today is day 1. It will grow. It has to grow. And please, tell your friends. Let's all be a part of something bigger than us.

For those of you that attended my last Lighting on Location class at Tri, please send images to Sam at samgao@gmail.com. He is looking forward to giving images to the wonderful models we had. If I don't see you at the walk, I will see you in 2 weeks when school starts up again for the fall semester.
