Great news

Filed under: Nikon D90, People, Updates — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , — Jacob Crosby @ 3:15 am

I have a great deal of good news to share with everyone this post and it does not even involve some deliciously edited photo… I have recently come into a certain amount of assistance from someone to which I am eternally grateful. As it stands recently I have been unimaginably hopeful with regards to my future. I will say this, and I wll keep it ‘relatively’ short, I had recently lost someone in my life in which I believed had absolutelty no replacement the world over.

It seems not only did I find a replacement for this person, I found that this person never really deserved to be in my life in the first place. I thought my life would be terrible and I would be lost without her, and he truth is, my life has been unfathomable leagues better since she lost me. I have been blessed not only with realization that I have had MEGA great friends the whole time, and  that I may have lost one person, but I have gained two great new friends and an amazing family that make it very clear that she always needed to be replaced. Much like a broken piece of office equipment, you do not dwell on the fact that it is broken and “gone”, you simply replace it, and forget it ever existed in the first place because the replacement unit functions better on it’s worst day than the previous unit did when it was brand new….

I have always heard the best revenge is living well, hehe, well, that I am doing, and not that I would ever wish ill upon Chandra (or most people for that matter) as I do still love her so very much, I reently heard she is doing worse since she lost me… If there is such a thing as karma I am confident some just got dished up, shaken, not stirred.

Having given that tidbit of “grandtastic” news, I want to inform everyone of my first purchases towards my new business as well as the basic premise behind my new venture.

My very first purchases towards the business were a new air compressor and a new brad nail gun. Essentially I intend to process my photographs as usual, and get them printed in varying sizes. The second step in my overall process is to construct my own unique frames that I will be able to design around the photograph that will be going inside the frame. Now that you can see why I would need an air compressor and a nail gun when working with photographs… hehe. My third purchase was my dream camera. I have been dissatisfied with my camera for shooting HDR photographs for some time now. Ultimately, I found a great deal for a Nikon D90 online, I purchased the D90 with a few lenses and some additional equipment that will help me transfer from my Canon to a Nikon as all the connections are different, as well as the threading of the lenses.

Now that everyone knows why I have a great level of confidence in my future I am ready to go out and sell my photographs and frames. I would like to involve my friends and family in the process of building this, and doing so from the beginning, so if you have an ideas that you think would be beneficial, please do let me know.

Sorry for the lack of a photo today. :(

Fun New Tool

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — Jacob Crosby @ 12:05 pm

I have recently found a new piece of software called Woopra. It allows me to see tons of useful information about visitors (Though nothing to personally identify you). Sometimes I will be on and notified of a visitor, and with this new software I am able to send a message to visitors. So, though I may have no idea who you are, you may receive a message from me in the future, if you want me to know who it is, let me know, if not, just talk back and never tell me who it is. :) Hopefully this enables a little more interaction with visitors, hopefully without feeling too intrusive to anybody, if it does feel that way, I can certainly disable this function for visitors, but I have to do it when you are online at the same time as me, as stated, no way for me to identify anybody, so I can only do it when I see you on. Hopefully we need not worry about that though. Happy belated Thanksgiving to everyone. I can say that I am thankful for the things I have once had and how they may have affected me, both positive and negative…

New Monthly Page

Filed under: Updates — Tags: — Jacob Crosby @ 5:43 pm

I am going to be adding a new page every month, and keeping an archive of the three favorite photos of the month. As well as a yearly archive of the top 10 of the year.

My primary motivation behind doing this is that I want people to have motivation for voting on my photos, the more photos you vote on the more your voice will be heard in the types of photos I take and display. If I find that people really like photos of dogs, then more dogs it is, if people like photos of nature, then there will be more nature photos, and so on and so forth. I have somewhat of a terrible memory, so if you tell me the types of photos you like to see, I will likely forget and continue on as usual.

So please, vote on the photos, make comments, I really want this to be a fun, living website where people can come and talk about photography, and whatever else they may enjoy, there was a comment in one post about brains coming out of my neck, I was laughing so hard it hurt (Seriously, it really did hurt). There will be a post this evening, so check back if you are interested. :)
