Traffic is UP!!!

Ok, so this may be a geeky thing to be bringing up in my blog, but I was looking at my websites' analysis of visits over the last month. I gasped when I saw the numbers... So I took a screen shot to share. Can you believe it, With the exception of my dglphoto.com, my web traffic to this blog and my smugmug have risen tremendously!

Wow, in the last month my smugmug traffic has exploded to an almost 300% increase in traffic. I am nearly receiving as many hits to my smugmug as I have to my portfolio site. So, then how do I bring this back around and turn it into business. That is the next challenge.

Well, the weather is nice, and I am still couped up inside... Time to get out.

It is almost here!!!

Well, the wedding is almost here. Just brought the Marriage license app down to the town hall... Hopefully we remember to pick it up next week. Still lots of wonderful things to take care of before the wedding. Looking forward to all of the last minute plans and changes.

Anyway, the table seems to be coming out well. It is drying from a coat of polyurethane, and will need another or two before I am done. It is looking good!!!

I guess I will have to post some photos as I finish the darn thing. And soon, there will be wedding photos to post. Well, just trying to keep on top of things...

On another note, last week I ordered one of those "el cheapo" ebay radio triggers for my flash and it still has yet to arrive. I am starting to wonder if I will ever receive the damn thing. I was hoping that I would get it and be able to modify it to play with before and after the wedding, but at this rate, it will be here next may...

Anyway, this is the model I hope to play with. I have found a few sites that give instructions on how to make it more reliable. We will see how they turn out. I would like to have something that I could throw behind a wall and have it fill from the side. Not to mention something that can effectively work in daylight.

Over the last few Weeks...

I have accomplished a lot over the last few weeks. I have been working with in a group to establish a new company that will be shooting cars at in Stowe.


We will be working together to create prints for the owners of the cars, and help get them something unique to help them remember their time in Stowe. I am looking forward to the experience, but wondering how it is going to work out. Lets all hope together, that it becomes a fairly lucrative opportunity.

Worst case scenario, it will be an interesting venture, and we come out reasonably unscathed. Well, here are some of the images from the getting ready for the car shows...
