Me. With Camera.

One advantage of shooting with other talented photographers is that every so often one of them actually produces a good photograph of me! On last weekend’s visit to the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and the Artist Point area, my brother Richard Mitchell (Touching Light Photography) was my guide and fellow photographer – and he made a photograph of me that I like quite a bit. Thanks, Richard!

Today’s Photo Coming Soon – Starting a Series of New York City Photographs

I spent last week in New York City doing a variety of things: photographing a couple nights of “Così fan tutte: Some Assembly Required,” exploring museums, eating a lot of wonderful food, visiting family, getting lost on the subway, and more. It has been a decade since I’ve been there, and this was my first chance to try to do photography in NYC. As many of you know, that is an almost overwhelming endeavor – there so much to see and do there that it is barely possible to skim the surface of the possibilities. But I tried. And some of the photographs will begin to appear here very soon.

I’m Considering a Change to the Discussion Software – Perhaps Moving to Disqus?

Recently I ran a little experiment and replaced the built-in discussion/comment feature at my dan’s outside blog with the Disqus equivalent. The experiment seems to have gone well: people continued to post a few messages on that low-traffic site, there were no complaints, and Disqus seems to provide some interesting features.

With that test under my belt I’m considering making the switch here as well. It appears that previous comments will all be ported over to the new service and will still be available here – on the same pages if I’m not mistaken. If anyone has any warnings, concerns, or advice… now would be a great time to drop me a line or leave a comment!

Server is back online… I hope

Issues at my hosting company – apparently not their fault – took this site (and email to my accounts at this domain) offline for several hours today. Thanks for your patience as they worked to resolve this. If you had problems sending me email, please try again – I’ll be watching for delayed messages throughout the rest of the afternoon.

(There are still a few “issues” around this whole incident – hopefully they will be worked out before long. Saturday update: In contrast to another hosting company I used to use, the current one is doing a good job with this issue. That includes sharing with me information about what happened and what steps are being taken and when.)
