A Restart

Just before the start of 2007, I embarked on a quest to do two weekly blogs: Photo of the Week, and Tip of the Week.  The first was more philosophical in nature, using photography to help put life into focus; the second was an attempt to impart some of my photography knowledge and experience to others.  Both blogs were very rewarding — I got lots of feedback and connected and reconnected with many family and friends, and I had a regularly scheduled event which forced me to pick up my camera and shoot something.  After a year's worth of weekly entries, I had to re-evaluate my priorities and came to the realization that what I had done was taking more time than I could justify.  So, for the last nearly 9 months, I have done zero blogging, and I have missed it.  Recently, my two oldest children have established blogs of their own, and this has inspired me to find an happy medium between 2/week and zero.

So, with that history, I debut Relancer — to restart.  This will be more ad-hoc, less structured, and less consistently updated than what I did during 2007.  AND, it won't be just about photography.  By setting the expectations up-front, I hope to create a forum more forgiving of the lack of consistency in my schedule, and more open to a broader range of topics.
