After a few weeks away and doodling with my new website and the likes, I’m back on track with my site and blog.
I’m trying out wordpress for a bit to see if I like this over blogspot so we’ll see how all turns out.
As far as work is concerned…I just had Wonderful Machine help edit and redo my site and branding. I’ll be sending out emails with links to the new site probably beginning next week so everyone can see how great Sean over at WM help recreate my portfolio and how Peter created my new logo and feel to my site.
Much mahalos to you two for working so hard. The official launch will be soon but those who want to see now can go to www.marcogarciaphotography.com.
I’m still using NeonSky and template for my website and super happy with their content. Its my galleries that have been changed and worked over to create a new feel and design for my work and self. Sean over at Wonderful Machine along with the rest of the staff helped define my character and shooting. I didn’t like many of the choices they made only because of my self view of myself but its sometimes not that easy to edit yourself. In many ways, editing is sometimes best left to the professionals.
Leave your thoughts, comments and criticisms on my site and blog if you wish.
As far as work is concerned, things finally picked up. I’ve shot several large jobs for the New York Times on the art scene in Maui, shopping on Kauai, and furlough Fridays on Oahu…not to mention garbage and the birther’s bill giving the State the ability do ignore the repeated requests for Comandante Obama Hawaiian birth certificate. The poor state was getting thousands of requests and the poor state workers were being harassed.
The cool job I shot at the end of April for the Times was a travel piece on the art scene in the small hippie town of Paia on Maui. The town is no more than a few blocks long as deep. The story can be downloaded from here as a pdf or see as a link here.
One of my favorite shots was this guy sitting on the beach.
What kills me is the hair and the leaves on the tree. The Times loved the pic as it seems to be their lead.
Thanks for being patient with me and hopefully I will restart my regular blogging for those who follow.
Enjoy.
