I know I haven’t been posting lately. No, I didn’t forget or stop caring, life gets busy, plus I’ve been taking some time to rethink how I want to do this blog. After putting some thought into it I’ve decided to restructure the blog.

Checking our blog stats I noticed a very strange thing: the post boasting the most hits (by a decent margin) is the art of flexibility and structure.  After looking into it some more, I noticed that the bulk of the traffic is filtering in from Google. Do a search for the art of flexibility and guess what pops up as number 3? That’s right- The Pixelated Darkroom. So for those of you hailing from Google- Hi and Welcome! Now I have a feeling that the majority of you who found us by searching for “The art of flexibility” are not looking for a post on a photography website that discusses the future structure of the blog, so you may want to return to Google and try again, unless of course you are also into photography, or might want to get started in photography- then you ought to stick around for awhile.

Now back to what I was saying- in the original art of flexibility and structure post I had this great idea to make days of the week for different things, and a schedule and stick to it, and well I don’t want to do that anymore. Sorry, I guess my artistic side won out. Actually what really happened is that I felt like I was missing something- this is a blog, not a text book. One of the best things about blogs is the flexibility, the ability to act and react almost instantly to current news and trends, and I felt like the structure was hindering that. I would read something awesome, that I was dying to share with you all and I would think well, today won’t work, tomorrow won’t work, ok I’ll make that a final thoughts Friday. Well that’s all well and good except that by Friday it was either old news, I was bored of it, or I would right the post and find that it lacked the passion and excitement I felt when that bit of information or idea was brand new to me.

So while my original fears, that a lack of structure may make this blog too disheveled, or lack direction, still exist, I’m hoping that the spontaneity of being able to share what I think, what I’m doing, what’s new, and the capability to respond to current trends, news and ideas will more than make up for the motley assortment of posts we may end up with over the course of a week.

So let’s give this a try for awhile and see what we think. If you have any thoughts or opinions on the new format please leave a comment, or drop and e-mail and we’ll work from there.
