Update.Beginning

When I thought about creating a text based blog to accompany my photoblog SHADOWMOLD, I knew that I would want to comment about my own photography as well as the work of others when the site began getting a following. I thought I use this first post to talk about what I'm up to and what my goals are for the site.

Shadowmold is moving along quite nicely, though at present I'm using blogger rather than the ubiqutous Movable Type. Why? Movable Type requires computer expertise, I don't at present possess and wonder if I in fact need to possess. Software has a way of superceding develper tools and becoming end user friendly. I want to do what I do rather quickly and don't want the learning curve.

I may change my mind tomorrow.

All planned parts of Shadowmold are up and working with the exception of the galleries and thumbnail views. I'm not pleased with the formatting in Blogger's comment system, but I may find a way around that as I have the one-picture-at-a-time-limitation.

Right now I'm interested in getting a platform for the pictures working to enable contact with other photographers.
