As I mentioned yesterday, I am having a Susan Lucci moment with the Bloggie Awards, having somehow gotten a nomination (vote here!). That, combined with the Digg thing has resulted in 250,000+ views on my pictures and blog in the past 72 hours. So, I thought it would be worthwhile to give the newcomers a grand tour.

It’s a bit like giving a tour of a studio apartment, because the site is fairly one-dimensional. It only has my photography, which purists find abhorrent and I get angry emails from people who actually believed their teachers when they were young and told them never to “draw outside the lines!” Hey, it’s art, okay?

There is an About Me page if you are curious, which appears to show me stealing some firewood from some Amish children. Also, I get a lot of questions about how I do this sort of photography, so I made a poorly worded and irregularly flowing tutorial here.

And since there are so many newcomers, I thought I would re-post a few of my shots from recent months that helped to get this blog so popular and helped to spawn a bunch of angry emails from people whose hands smell like developing fluid…whatever that stuff is called… I dunno I’m all digital since it’s 2007 and web 2.0 and TechCrunch and everything.
