new beginnings

Got my 10-22mm lens yesterday evening. Didn't do anything then aside from take my self-portrait (lovely little piece of writing that goes along with that picture--I mean, how often do I write that much?), but I had a blast using it today with my circular polarizer. Amazing. It's everything that I knew it would be. Very pleased with the rest of the pictures from this afternoon too.

In my mind, this new blog is going to act as a sort of organizing filter for my photographic exploits -- a way to keep track of things that happen in a more sorted fashion, allowing flickr to just be the stream where everything is hosted. I think this could also make my life and photography more accessible to certain loved ones, though it's not quite the motivating factor behind this endeavor. Anyway. I suspect that usually I'll be posting here about an event..or rather, a particular session of shooting, like today. For each blog entry, I'll either link the date-taken-in or the corresponding photos will have a tag (if there are separate events in the same day). Like for these pics, you can click here. So that's it. Here I go. Wish me luck! :)
