New Domain

So a while back, I said I was redesigning my website. It's still in progress, but things are coming together. For some reason I can't renew the domain I had (andrewduncanphoto.net), so the new website will have a new address www.20photographs.com (and .net, .info, and .biz...GoDaddy had a good deal for all four domains). There is a wierd reason why I chose that name. All the other domains I could think of were taken, (this is something occuring across all types of websites, not only photography web sites/galleries) so I started thinking of other names with numbers in the address, such as 4x5photography, or 5x7photography (the two formats I work in), but scratched that idea, because I plan on getting a Nikon D200 as soon as I can afford it, and 4x5 and 5x7 will no longer be my main method of original image capture. Wednesday at work, I was toying with these new URLs, and 20photographs.com popped in my head, and kept popping up. So I started thinking if I should limit each gallery/project to 20photographs, but scratched that idea, but I still liked how 20photographs sounded, so I decided to go with it. Pretty soon the site will be up.
Oh, and I've requested an invite to Vox, a blogging service still in beta testing. I heard the owner of the company on Inside the Net, and it sounded like a very powerful service. Hopefully I get the invite. If I do, my blog will be changing locations as well. I'll keep you all posted.




Edit: I got my invite to Vox this morning (much sooner than expected). My new blog address photographicdepartures.vox.com.

New Job

So I start a new job on Monday. I'll still be framing, but I'll be building log cabins up in Park City for Custom Scandinavian. I can't wait. It'll be fun to learn some new skills, but it'll be an awefull commute. Oh well. Oh, and I got a new hammer. My old one started getting a crack in the handle, so I decided to replace it now.

Anyways, like Jon, I had neglected my camera for too long. WAY too long. This morning I was out running errands and drove by the BYU campus and there was a little "park" area that looked excellent, and decided to come back in the evening when the light was nice. So I loaded up my film holders and headed out. It turned out to be quite a nice little "park." Although with all the wedding bridal shoots in this one "park," I actually started to gag. Just kidding, but seriously, it was redicolous. Anyways, on with the photography stuff....I think I came away with some nice images. I almost didn't make one or two of the photographs because I wasn't too sure about them, but decided to make the photograph anyway. If they don't turn out well, no big deal. I won't have lost much. Well, anything at all really. All in all, it was a pretty satisfying date, er, evening with my camera. Now I just gotta work on gettin my negatives developed and scanned.
