Double Cross (from the series: Bad Trip – Sad Trip)
…you may have noticed a change in the blog design and hopefully for a good reason! I have increased the size of my images that I am posting up to 650 pixels across and this has impacted the look of the site design I was using. The larger image wass pushing all of the side bar information to the bottom of the blog, which I did not like. One reason for the image size change is that I was recently invited into a closed blog discussion group (limited amount of members) call Stills, which you will find on my blogroll to the side and they perfer the larger images. Works for me!
I dropped Mike Johnston and the Online Photographer off the blogroll. I did not notice very many referral links to Mike’s blog, it seems most know about him all ready, thus I don’t feel the need to provide that link any longer.
Because of my Friday series ArtBiz101, I have added Mary Virginal Swanson to the blog roll for all of the maketing and sales updates that she provides for the fine art photography community. If you know of other similar blog links, let me know.
I’ll probably making some more adjustments to this site over the next week or two, but should not be as radical of a change as this new look, so let me know if this works! :- )
Best regards, Doug
BTW that odd look to the sky of this image is due to me still working on the right amount of image sharpening that I need to do with posting on this blog. If you follow the image title link, you will see the image on my web site looking more like I entended.

Doug, I must say that your Bad Trip – Sad Trip has affected me. I’m noticing so many of these roadside markers. It’s a testament to the fragility of life and the fact that we live on the the razors edge and should appreciate each moment as unique and special. None of us is promised the next. We could be remembered as one of the roadside markers at any given moment. I don’t know if that was the intended message, but it’s what I took from it.
I noticed several markers on my way from from Myrtle Beach. I also notice, when I can, the particular state of repair that each is in.
Paul, thanks for your candid comments, and your testamony is the best that a artist can hope atain to, to honestly effect someone to the point that you alter their way of seeing. Thank you so much.
Now I just need to either get a commission or a funding grant to come out your way to include these as a part of the series:- )
