moving this site

For sure, in the next few days, this photo site will be moved to:
http://www.barichrome.com
I think that this site will stay here, but I won't be able to modify it any more. All the photos that are here will also be at the other site, and all new posts will be there as well. Pardon the construction you may see for the next month or so when you go over there.

weird things going on

My site host recently went through some changes and ever since then things have gone kind of weird with it. I've kind of gotten it fixed how so you should be able to see all pages of the site, including all the subject tags. Like my personal favorites, for instance. I still haven't gotten all the kinks worked out, but it is better than it was.

meter made

As much as I love getting shots around NYC, sometimes it just isn't practical to keep my camera bag with me. Then there is the added complication of being out of town nearly half the month of July, and being limited in the things I could take with me. Nevertheless, my enthusiasm is unabated.

Couple of things I'm happy about. I've finally decided to start thinking about possibly learning how to post process photos. Most of the shots you see here have had precious little done to them out of the camera. While I doubt I'll ever do a ton of editing to my photos before posting (I think it would make me lazy when taking the photos), I'd be kidding myself if I didn't admit that they could benefit from such a thing. The first step is getting the software, which I'm planning on getting tomorrow.

can lady

I need to be truthful. I stalked this woman for about 5 minutes to get these photos. She has been collecting cans in my neighborhood since I moved here, and she is extremely industrious, often pushing carts so laden that I have visions of nature videos where ants are lifting 20 times their body weight. I'm not implying that she looks like an ant, but I am implying that you can stalk my camera phone in the long droughts between pictures I put on this site.

i'm published

I haven't posted pictures for awhile due to an out of town trip of a work hard / play hard variety. However, I'm happy to say that my first image has been published as part of the File Magazine Collection!

I now have all my current favorite photos on this site tagged with the term "favorite" (and added this tag to my sidebar, indicating this is a photo that I like. You may disagree, so please look at all my photos and then forward them to the New York Times so they can do an article on me and I can become famous. No, don't do that.


I like this photo quite a bit. I took it right before a performance we did at a restaurant in Brooklyn.

northbound 1 train

Taken at 231st St (I think). I can't believe how many photos I've taken that I haven't waded through yet, and I don't even have much time to take them. I can't imagine the challenge people have choosing photos when they shoot every day.

I didn't want to post anything for a few days because I was so proud of the cat picture below. I've decided I'm going to add a knew tag called "favorites" so that curious viewers can see which photos I've taken over the years are the ones I like the best, and hopefully that will keep them from sinking into the ether.

kingsbridge holiday

This was taken back near Christmas. If you look carefully you can see the 231st subway station behind the lights. I took this on the way home from work.

Blogger photo posting is working again! Very good. I'm travelling a lot this month, but I'm going to try to preload a bunch of photos so I can post them from the road. We'll see how that goes.

posting problems

I just get in the habit of publishing pictures once a day and now I can't get the uploading of pictures to work. Hopefully I can figure this out when I get back from work tonight.

labels on side bar

While I've all ready announced you can search past posts by labels in addition to archives, I've now listed all current labels on the sidebar to the right.

categories

I'm happy to say that this site now has the ability to have labels attached to the pictures that I post. This way, if you want to see all the pictures I've taken in NYC, or of People, or Animals, you can click and see just things in that category. It will go back and put these labels on old photos in my spare time, so in a few days I should have the whole site done. After each post you will see a list of labels that identify it, and sometime soon I'll have the whole lot of them on the side bar for easy clicking.

new path

With much thanks to Dave, my blogs are now being published where they should be, to the http://www.bradwilson.us domain. Very happy about this. As soon as I figure out how to publish photos, I'll be really happy!
