Like a steam locomotive rolling down the tracks

To the few people that will probably find this site, welcome! I am venturing into something that I had never imagined myself to do and that is start a blog. I touch on this in the “about this site” to the right, but as I was thinking to myself that I needed to redesign my regular site, this might not be a bad idea. For the past month or so, I have slowly been working at developing flash templates for my portfolio photo galleries, finding quick-to-post photo galleries and developing this blog you are currently viewing. I am still trying to come up with a better name than blog for this, because for me that word just has a negative sound to it.
First things first, this blog is still being developed and I hope to add some new features as time goes on. With my upcoming job based in Thailand, I will be traveling to Cambodia, Burma, India, Vietnam and who knows where else.
With that in mind, I would like to develop a map system that could tell you where I am and quickly get to posts from each location. I will hopefully be able to setup a news feed that can pull stories from the areas I am in and have headlines posted to the site. It would pretty much be another fancy way to keep up with me. This gets me to my first reason to begin this page, to keep my friends and family connected with me. I have it setup so you can register with my site, then it will give you updates on specific topics or whenever something new is posted. It is up to you and you can manage it yourself. In addition, with my career goal of doing international correspondence, this site just seems to make sense for the future as well.
The second purpose of this site is to work as a display for my photography. While I do have my portfolio site, this site can give people a better look at my work on a fairly regular basis. While not all the photos may be the best I have made, it may help some people understand my style and where I make my pictures a little better. Once I get things developed a little more on this site, I will post photo galleries a little more consistently.
The third purpose of this page is to post information that is related to photojournalism and travel issues. Whether it is new gear that makes things easier for people to get around with or news relating to photojournalism in different countries, I hope to keep up to date with many of these issues to reach a broad audience. With that in mind, please email me if you know of things that may be of interest to other readers.
As I have mentioned already, this site is still in development, so please bare with me if things change or move in the next couple months. If there is anything you feel might benefit the site or others, please let me know. Thank you for stopping by, leave me some feedback and keep checking back, or better yet, register and I’ll keep you updated!
