Next to launching the new website, which has been getting some rave reviews I’m excited to launch the new blog, Shoptalk. My boys over at We The Media did a rockin’ job. They’ve done some killer work for big brands in the blog department. Definitely recommend them. It’s got some new features that were thought through from a usability standpoint, and some design features I haven’t seen done yet in a photography blog, namely the scrolling content under my logo tag in the top left, and the static footer that allows all the navigation to be done in a pop up nav box. This feature makes it easy to browse the blog by topic or time of posting. We’ve also included live search so you can see the archive of posts pop up as you type a keyword. Also integrated is a pop up nave for my social media profile links.
Naturally as the nature of Shoptalk is to share the things I’ve learned and thought about along this artistic journey of a career. It’s to serve as a resource and to give back to the photography community. Many people have commented, and emailed in about how much they’ve learned from the blog, and that’s my hopes for what it may be, so thanks to you for reading and being a part.
I also thought I’d take a second to highlight some of my favorite and most read posts over the last couple of years
- Only You Can Make S#%@ Happen!
- Expanding Your Default
- ABS Theory
- Two Rules of the Photography Game
- The Importance of Branding
- The Secret is Seeing…
- Your Own Branding Imagery
Feel free to comment some of your favorite posts to share with other readers.
Looking awesome. Sometimes I have to remind myself to look at blogs outside of the context of Google reader to appreciate them fully. Yours is my most read blog of the year–I only discovered you a couple of months ago and I’m catching up (and learning) like crazy.
i truly know how much work it is to blog and you have done a wonderful job with yours! the content and info is great. thanks for sharing!
quick question: any special reason why we can’t link to people that have left comments? like clicking on their names and visiting their blogs?
thanks!
First time visiting your blog … been following you on Twitter for a while though. Great posts. I clicked “open in new tab” a few times.
i absolutely love your new website. I’ve been a fan for a while
although i’m a wedding photographer your lifestyle photography has helped me with instructing my bride and groom for shots because your photos are “non-weddingy” yet romantic. It’s always refreshing going through your site just before a shoot.
