Effective as of two days ago. Thank you all and goodnight. I feel that the effort preparing, uploading and managing images on this blog has been inordinate compared to the return, so I am moving my photoblogging efforts to a new, Misadventures at 720nm (the URL is interim). It is being powered by dedicated photo-CMS called Pixelpost and has a strong prime focus on both my 365 days effort and my digital infrared photography.
(New) World Photography isn’t going away though, not by any means. I’ve invested almost four years of time in the information which this site represents. I’m a fickle man, I will return here eventually. In the meanwhile I invite any and all readers of this site to update their bookmarks to move to Misadventures at 720nm.

Well hi there, readers. It falls to me to harken the arrival of 2010 on January 3rd. 2009, for all its darkness, ended on an upbeat and optimistic note that continues to resonate in the first few days of 2010. I’ve taken on a project for 2010: 365 days of photos, of which I am onto day #3. The photos have so been posted to my personal site, but beginning tonight or tomorrow I will begin to migrate those posts back to newworldphotos.net.
Thank you to everyone who visited newworldphotos.net in 2009 and to all who may come in 2010. :)
Kicked off by the 16 Favourites 2009 thread on boards.ie, I put together my favourite sixteen images of the last year. Un-surprisingly my family weighed in heavily in the running. Here’s to 2009, guys.
My week has been all drama, headaches, tears and, yes, crying babies.
We need a razor and a pin, ASAP!
The week was long, the clients were many, Mariah got ever more pregnant (two weeks left!) and I had a whole bunch of clients from start to finish. Caira’s wit got ever-sharper, I stumbled round and about in a tired daze and at the end of it all, Photos Were Taken. I had a fantastic time with Hillary and Heather shooting their families and children out at Cottonwood Canyon Park, one of the best hidden gems in Las Vegas-spacious greenery, beautiful scenery and surroundings, and at most hours an almost total lack of people. Win.
I’m not officially photographed out.
Rise – commute – work – commute – home -dinner – kids – shower – sleep. I get maybe an hour per day to process and upload images and do take care of those essential little tasks for relaunching. I still have to assemble photobook templates, flyer templates, business card templates, and to push out my advertising on Craigslist, Facebook and MySpace.
And there is a second child on the way. When did my life take on this sheen of the daily adult grind? Two years ago my biggest choice was whether I should go for a photowalk or log into World of Warcraft and do an instance with my guild.
Caira’s birthday photos are still coming. Honest.
I’m leaving for Big Bear tomorrow, for a week of house-building and painting. I’m pumped, excited at spending a whole week in such a scenic part of California with Caira’s grandparents, Ted and Jackie.
And then I’m returning to Las Vegas to begin work with a local realtor’s office.
That’s all for now. As you were. Watch this space for photos.
I cannot but go to a park without getting Lou Reed’s excellent song stuck in my head. Yet again.
