05/21/2007: "CalNaturePhoto and SierraVisions"
CalNaturePhoto has been online for a month and half now. In that time it has done pretty well. The number of visitors has grown and I feel I've written some good articles for the site. But the site has also put a lot of pressure on me. It's pretty hard work keeping two major sites up to date with fresh content. I really want to keep both sites updated at least every other day and preferably every day, but I can't seem to do it. The harder I try to be creative, the harder it is to be creative. Also, with so much creative energy going into writing, I feel that my photography and graphic arts have suffered. And since my graphic arts are my main source of income, when they suffer so do I.
So something has to give. And since I'm not about to do anything to my baby, SierraVisions, then I'm going to have to do something with CalNaturePhoto. So as of right now, I will not be updating CalNaturePhoto anymore. I'm going to let it go. I will leave the site online for now, but I am going to direct all of the visitors to SierraVisions. SierraVisions will once again become my number one priority.
CalNaturePhoto was a good idea, but it just isn't working for me. It's causing more problems than it's worth and it's just not much fun anymore. After all the whole reason for having a web site is to have fun with it. I have enjoyed writing the articles and tutorials and photo tours for CalNaturePhoto. So I will be continuing them on SierraVisions. I will also be writing more E-book photo guides. It's just now it will all be for SierraVisions. By only having one site to keep up to date I should be able to get more done and be more creative.
As for the major update I promised for SierraVisions, I'm still working on it. Maybe now I'll have more time to really work on it. I'm having problems getting the look and feel I want. In fact, I may be changing the look of SierraVisions. It will still have a natural, mountain, forest theme to it, but it may different. I'm thinking of going for a granite, rocky look now. But we'll see.
So there you have it. Changes are in the wind. Hopefully they will all be positive.
