12/15/2004: "Happy Blogiversary To Me!"
 One year ago today I made my first post... model: Ting Ting makeup and hair: Karen Faye styling: Karie L. Frost client: Nailpro Magazine
I can't believe it's been a year. I started this as an experiment so that I could offer it to my web design clients, but it turned into what my wife would call an obsession. I've had over 20,000 unique visits in the last year and over 6,000 of them came in the last two and a half weeks! Thanks to everyone that comments and keeps me going. I hope the evolution of this thing into a photo blog hasn't kept any of my long time visitors away. I was struggling to find what my blog was about and since I can't write for shit, I felt that the best thing was to show what I do. Thanks again everyone.
camera/film: Hasselblad, 150mm, Fuji Astia 100F. lighting: The main light is a Profoto Ringflash with a close-up reflector converted to work with Speedotron packs. Behind the perforated metal background is a white wall lit with two Speedotron heads with red and blue gels. retouching note: The models eyes were retouched blue from brown.

Happy Blog-day to you, Happy Blog-day to you, Happy Blog-day, dear brother, Happy Blog-day to you. Now, could you spend this next year involving yourself with the Blog community a little more...I don't feel like you've fully committed as of yet. =)

Thanks people! I hope I can keep it going. It's nice to know that some people stuck around after the blog awards. There's another blog awards coming up too so maybe I'll get some more new people. Oh, and the picture was for the October issue so I guess it's supposed to be a little scary.
