"Rebranded"

Yesterday, Sept 13, was my birthday. Happy Birthday to me.

I spent the weekend partying with friends, some 3hours north of Toronto. A good time was had by all.

I decided to give the blog a slight revamping and rebranding, as screaming and static are not exactly photography things. Hopefully, I can get used to the idea of posting stuff more often. I've managed quite successfully to do so in the last short while.

So, welcome to "Bringing the Light"

Enjoy!

Terrible...

I am terrible at updating this space. Despite advice from Andrew at Acts of Minor Treason (which he follows brilliantly)

Now, I like to post photographic-related stuff here, and having none to report... other than having picked up a Rokkor 58 1.4 and SMC Takumar 150/4 for myself (both are awesome btw, I feel that I should at least share SOMETHING.

Here goes...

This first part makes me laugh.
By TTC? really?

Small Tip: take a cab.
I've had to make the trip to the airport area before by Transit and it's NOT fun. Actually, I'll be blunt and say it flat-out. IT SUCKS.

Having given this information, i am now going to go into bloghiding once again. See you in... another month and a half.

Thanks for reading!

editor's note: should i post sooner than that, then... i was lying the whole time. :P
Seriously, I need to write more. Maybe I should make a habbit of encorporating photo-walks into journal entries. Hmmm...

Updates

Well... as much as I would like to update this more often, I've been busy lately.

Truth be told, the rapid-fire postings that I did in the tail-end of the last year were partly in thanks to a lack of employment. I had time to think things over and write up a few posts.

Sadly, I've been drafting 2 different posts on my laptop for the last month or so, but haven't written enough in either case to allow me to bother with posting. One is a correction to a previous post which I feel that I need a little help with completing properly and the other is a bit of a run-down/top-10 list of sites that I feel need to be made more public... at least, in top-10 list form. All of them, of course, being Photographer's sites.

Nonetheless, I think I may need to heed the advice of a former colleague and develop a schedule for myself. Every monday... write a post. Actually, his advice was every wednesday...but even he abandoned that in favour of a higher frequency, which to my chagrin is something I cannot do, but works fantastically for him. He discusses near-political and transit-based matters, which provide a lot of fodder for him. Give him a read at www.actsofminortreason.com.
[p.s his blog's name is meant to be ironic, but his content is not]

Having said that... I think I'm done for this post. I've said my piece (or is it Peace?)

See you losers in another 2 months. :P :)

Lightroom

I'll make this brief. Lightroom kicks butt in workflow, but it sucks are not allowing me to do what I like to do in Photoshop. It's driving me bonkers trying to learn this program.

Only good came come of this, but when you're ripping your hair out, that's a hard one to believe.

Anyhow, I am slowly working on my next entry, however I'm coming up a bit short on the topic I want to talk about... we'll see how this works out. I set a goal of 10 entries, and i have 3 so far. (It's a 10 best list)

At least, for now, while i have a bit of writer's block, i can revisit my last post and fix the error that Storpotaten pointed out.
