I don’t know if I mentioned but I’ve been thinking about moving away from the domain klophoto.com for storing my vanity best-of-the-best portfolio. I don’t mind the domain name, per se, but so many people think they can add ‘photography’ to the end of their name and try and sell their services, and I don’t want to be part of that crowd. As Clayton Cubitt said:
Having a camera makes you a photographer like having a calculator makes you a mathematician.
I’m not trying to be a pro photographer, I’m just willing to show you some pictures if you want to look, you know what I mean?
Anyway, to try and force myself to action I registered brotheromara.com (Brother O’Mara being my Flickr username). Then I sat on it for a month or two and did nothing with it. Then I tested out a few different back-end solutions and couldn’t really find anything that I loved so I figured that I’d probably end up just rebranding the klophoto site and moving it all over there.
While procrastinating I set up a carbonmade backend and posted some of my best pictures of New Orleans. Since it’s been like this for a few weeks I’ve had time to decide that I like it – it seems really specific and targeted and precise. I think I’m going to leave it that way for now.
So what I’m saying is that if you ever want to show someone the best of my New Orleans-specific photos you can send them to brotheromara.com, and of course I’ve put a link in the left-hand sidebar here in case you forget.
Okay, you can now return to reading about anything that is not my ego.
