Delaware News or Lack of Hues

Good news is I registered my own domain name with GoDaddy.  More good news:  I found a host with BlueHost and uploaded WordPress.  Bad News is, it is not as easy as BlogSpot to set up.

I signed on for a webinar but it never appeared.  So for now I'm going with LACK of hues.

This is a foggy morning in fall on my beloved Delaware River, which we will be watching closely as the melt down may cause a rise in the water levels.

 

 

Delaware News

Perhaps you have noticed I have been playing around with the look and feel of the blog.  I wanted to have some RED, but not too much.  I cant help but wonder if I put in TOO much.  Since the rest of my news is boring...ITS SNOWING AGAIN.  Yesterday there was still a nice flow on the Jersey side....still too dark to see if it is moving this morning.

 

 

 

I thought I would share a nice black and white portrait.  Took this one yesterday of one of my neighbors.

 

Delaware Views and News: Dot Com?

This should be the last of the Howell Farm images.  The top one is not my shoot...although those are my boots.  Aaron took this one with his cell and I just spruced it up a bit.

I'm thinking that continued post processing practice could be considered an investment in my business.  The horses looked like a good subject to try to work.

Having a little trouble pulling the trigger on my own website.  Go Daddy for a domain name?  Wordpress, Zenpholio, PhotoShelter?  OY!

 

 

 

I finally got the domain name from Godaddy....didn't realize I could get it free from Bluehost...so now I have to decide where to host the domain....Delawareviewsphotography.com

Both come highly recommended with a lean to Bluehost......

 

This latest storm knocked down a giant tree on river road and took our power.

We are generating our own.

So what about Thursday?  Views in Black and White?

Business News?

There is only one way to do this and that is to do it!

Only one way to go and that is forward.

Up or down it is still moving forward. 

 

 

Staircase at the New Museum

New York lingers on my mind.  Things I learned in the Travel Photography: Making it Work" class at ICP keep rolling around in my head.  Little pieces of information that must be organized, categorized and prioritized. 

NYC Architecture

 

Thank you Sharon Collins,  for kicking me into gear. 

It is my 2014 goal to create a personal webpage, only post referring images on Facebook, add exif data to every image I post, sign and copyright each one.

 

Empire State Building

 

Now I just have to find enough good ones to do so!

 

 

 

Common Cents and Getting Around in NYC

Once in NYC, there are many ways to get yourself from one spot to another.  I first saw the citibikes or something like it while in Israel, then London.  Last time I was in New York I did take notice of the bicycle paths marked out on the streets and this past week I notice the row of citibikes.

 

 

The most expensive way to get around in the city is a Limo, I suppose, but let's start with the more reasonable; the taxi.  Now this is well worth it if you are coming in with luggage.  I find the subway system to be safe and generally quite entertaining. For $2.50 you can get yourself a ride almost anywhere.  Subway art is worth taking notice of and often there are musicians that add to the ambience.  As far as I know, you can use the same ticket for a connecting bus ride.   I'm not sure about these bicycles and I'm not even sure I would want to try one.  They are purposed for short runs, not more than 1/2 hour at a time, but seem pretty reasonable if you have to make a few runs a day.

No doubt, the very best way to move short distances around the city is to walk.   Wont have to spend a cent and you might even loose something....like an inch around your waist.
