I am notoriously slow with producing new series but these things take time and they need to be done properly. Plus, it gives me something to do for a few years! The latest slow work I am giving the simple, working title of ‘sunrise’ which makes sense since that is the overall image theme.

At the moment I have been working really hard with my business to get it all up and off the ground and I am happy to have little refuges like this among my network of sites. I do a lot of article writing and other copy writing work for my bread and butter these days as well as general photography, but it is so nice to have these places that are truly your own.
This website has grown from something made out of old school HTML only to what it is now, with two blogs and a network of sites as well as an up and coming partner site that is in development called Art Auctions. If you are a busy person like me and run your own business I find that some times you keep pushing yourself and don’t take time to enjoy the things you have built.

I have finally started to use my old blog, KJ Takes a Blog for something useful again! It will now be my main depository of useful blogging knowledge! I started out not knowing anything about writing online and have now progressed to a point where I can help others share their thoughts, feelings, ideas and creativity online.

I have been busy working through the old website and copying over all of the single poems that don’t belong to a series. Needless to say it was pretty cool to read poems written a number of years ago and think back to those times and even disagree with some and find myself unchanged in relation to others. Despite any changes in myself as a person I don’t think I disagree with anything I have ever written, purely because it has lead me to more research, more understanding and a steadier flow towards what I want from a creative point of view.
If you are busy producing art at home you are probably looking at ways to present it to an audience. unfortunately, not many of us get the chance (or can afford) to display in a gallery. No worries though, because this was the old way of displaying art and you will have a much wider and appreciative audience online!
With kjwriteleft.com now entering into a more mature age for a website I have decide to take a quick look at what is in store for the site. If you are a regular to the site you will know that I try and change things around often and try and have new content.
Mostly, this has been poetry as well as photography with some of it in a series format. However, the biggest plan for the site is to link it in with a new website for buying art.

It seems that there is another new Internet fad that is taking off quickly to make the web even smaller. Yes, smaller, because every new, large site kills off hundred of unique, smaller sites. All of these websites (like Facebook and Twitter) run on the same premise:
Users must create all of the content.
The problem with this is where does this content really come from?

I have been compiling some new photography near my NEW home and it has been great to be a shutter bug again. These are some sunrise photos I have been dabbling with and will work into a new series shortly, … Continue reading
There are many personal sites sharing art and photography online; but, most of them do not sell any of their works. This is usually because it is a tough market to crack and when you are starting out it is the last thing on your mind. I am a firm believer in concentrating on the art first and the selling second because no-one is going to buy art and photography unless it speaks to them.
Well, having moved to a new house and a completely new area I am ready for some new photography inspiration. It has been a while since I have shared some photography on here so I will share some possible works in progress, excuse the photos if they are not perfect yet!
Here are three shots I will be working on and hopefully will get a chance to do some writing soon too! I am still waiting on a new internet connection for my home so things are a bit slow at the moment!
