First of all, since I've been putting off the final touches for what seems like forever now, I'm just going to do it. "Arranging Light":http://djamesphoto.com/arranginglight/, my "new"photoblog is officially in use. There are a few small changes that will take place in the near future, but, for most purposes, it's ready to go. Until this […]

My Photoblog is almost finished. It will be called "Arranging Light".
If you look at the code, "Wordpress":http://wordpress.org/ is really just a bunch of pieces of really bad, procedural, brute-force style coding tied together with a thin thread that they call an API and wrapped in enough global variables to leave even the most experienced coders […]

I'm not quite sure where any of my writing goes any more. So, I'll just keep writing if you keep reading (and commenting or emailing for the love of God). If it's rambly or disjointed or unintelligible hopefully we can work together to figure it out. Eventually, everything will find it's place again and we'll […]

I pulled the plug on "Five-A-Week":http://revjim.net/five-a-week/. The majority of the audience that I have here just isn't supportive enough or feedbacky enough when it comes to art to warrant the unimaginable amount of time I spent creating for it.
Those of you that miss it, fear not. My regular photography posting will return soon — […]

I've given this a lot of thought. Trust me when I say that this seemingly trivial bit of information and the small seemingly insignificant question that follows are, in fact, very important to my success as an artist. Please read this carefully and give your opinion honestly.

Several of my LiveJournal based readers have seen some issues with comments not showing up right away on *revjim.net*. In order to fix this, I've changed things a bit.

To my *real* friends, my "patrons":http://flickr.com/photos/revjim/tags/forsale/, my supportive fans, my "good models":http://flickr.com/photos/revjim/tags/girl/, and my "Five-A-Week":http://revjim.net/five-a-week subscribers: you are important to me. Your thoughts and ideas and suggestions matter because you've proven that you put your time, effort, loyalty, support, and money where your mouth is. To the rest of you: well… I hope you enjoy my work. If not there are lots of other photographers on the internet. I'm sure you'll find something somewhere else to your liking.

My art is mine. I do it for me. I'll share with you if you share with me. I'll consider you if you consider me in return. It is, after all, my art, my life, and my peace of mind. I'm taking me back.

You can now support your favorite internet websites, authors, and artists by easily contributing 1 penny every time you visit their website with no effort required on your part. What's more, if you act now you'll be given $1 to give away. That's 100 free donations to websites that you enjoy and visit on a regular basis.

Do it for me? Pretty please? With a cherry on top? I'll be your best friend?

I've decided to attempt to write a brief update once a day (whenever possible) that will include a quick list of what I did that day as well as brief thoughts and gut reactions to those events, a quick recap of ongoing projects and goals, a detailed plan for the upcoming day, and a brief look at larger upcoming plans. I'm not quite sure where to let this little exercise live. Your thoughts?

*revjim.net* has been upgraded to Wordpress 2.0.2. Those of you running older versions should "consider upgrading":http://wordpress.org/development/2006/03/security-202/ as this release corrects several security issues and bugfixes.
