Hey everyone,
I'm excited, and kind of nervous, to say that I'm moving my photography website to Tumblr. In this ever-changing world of online opportunities, I wanted to create a new, editorial-like venue for me to display my photography – and Tumblr does just that. My images will now have more immediate impact, the ability to post slideshows, a cleaner online setting and a way for me to boldly spotlight individual images when I'd like to. I can also post videos, quotes, etc. all in one place – which I'm very excited about.
With that said, I've gone ahead and started the blog with 4 new posts already. I invite you to join me at my new online photographic home. Please feel free to subscribe, add to your bookmarks, mark what you like, re-blog, etc. and come back often. I'm still learning all the options and will push the site to be as interesting, informative and visually stimulating as is possible.
Speaking of, I have several excellent posts from a recent road trip that took me out of the tri-state area and into one of America's most abandoned cities. Look for them on Tumblr soon…
Cheers,
Tom b.
Hi Tom, Just been over to Tumblr to see what your new blog looks like. Good stuff and great photographs. The layout on Tumblr looks as it it has lots of potential. I must bookmark it.

Thanks a ton, Laurie. I like how the images are larger right off the bat, without requiring the viewer to enlarge them one-by-one nor without extending the page to ridiculous lengths as on Blogspot. Some cons exist, of course, but the pros – and potential for more pros – outdistances the cons.
ReplyDeleteHey Tom, that's fantastic, I'm off to look at the new page, and will set up a link to it, which I hope will work from the blogger list of blogs in sidebar, as that was pretty handy for seeing when someone put up a new post...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new site !
Thanks a ton, Owen. I look forward to your stopping by, as always…
ReplyDeleteHi Tom! You're a great talent!^^
ReplyDeleteThank you! Stop on by the Tumblr site if you so choose. Lots going on over there now… :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tom! Your photos are awesome! Thanks for pointing me to the Tumblr theme. Would you mind me asking how you have your photos so large in the slide show? I've been trying for hours and can't get anything like yours! : )
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Cheers,
Tash.
Tash: I'm not doing anything special, per say, to get the images as large as they are. Perhaps it's the template I chose? I do make the images 8" x 12" (72dpi) to post them, so maybe that's large enough to push them up in size on Tumblr. That's all I do, and I hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and follow me on Tumblr if you so choose. Many more sites to post, with more to come in 2011! – Cheers!
