ThePhotoBeat.com









We've been up and running now for about 5 or 6 weeks. I've not blown up anything yet nor started thermonuclear war with my daring ventures into vB coding. Of course, I have a lot of help in that regard and have had the cool hand of caution laid on me more than once.

Go figure.

The site is off to a great start and has been a great learning tool, as well. I'm looking forward to seeing the membership grow and the critique forums get active.

Come on by and check it out!

Score one for the crazies of the world who don't like being told "film is dead"

Yeah!

The Impossible Project.com


Heh.

Of course, I signed! I'd sweep the floors for 'em if it kept them on target.

Just another reminder of why I like to wave my Freak flag proudly. Go, you crazy people, go!!!

Happy New Year!

Okay, so that's a mite overdue. And I posted nothing during the holidays, not even to shout my joy to the world about my beautiful new Tachihara 4x5, a Christmas present from a husband who loves to challenge and encourage me. I'm a terrible blogger, I admit. My online time is limited and, being a member of various forums I like to check in on, as well as popping over here, I always feel pulled every which way by conflicting demands.

So what better way to deal with this than to add to the load by starting a new forum of my own? Brilliant!!



Still in its infancy, but ThePhotoBeat.com is up and running on wobbly new legs. I am lucky to have friends who support my effort with their coding and general web skills, as well as gifted photographers to guide the content.

My love of photography and genuine pleasure in participating with others who love the craft probably made this step inevitable. For now, I'm regarding it as an interesting experiment, so we'll see where it goes and how it thrives under my care.

Pop on over if you've a mind to! There is room for one and all.
