I am now living in Germany and actively looking for models to continue with my fine art nude shoots. Otherwise I will be shooting castles and forests and other things that interest me. So, if you are in the Baden-Wurttemberg area give me a shout!

I am continuing to get smart on building an online business. There is so much content out there that it is sometimes difficult to separate the chaff from the wheat. Now, if I can only get this silly thing to link my Facebook page to twitter that will be one less manual thing that I need to do. Its not being very friendly tonight!

Well, why that wheel keeps spinning I thought I would just let you know that I will upload representative examples of photos that I have already uploaded to two stock photos sites (iStock and Dreamstime) and photos from my photography accounts on Model Mayhem and Jurgita.  I will also try to display some of my other favorites that I have not put online before. Found the trick to getting the two applications to talk. I had to cut and paste the URL that it was directing me to in another tabbed browser window.

Now all I need are some fans, but I realize that without my posting my photos I’m not too likely to get many fans from an empty page. L

Well, let’s see what I can do before I go to bed tonight…

Almost 0100 now; I finally got the Google Analytics working on all of my sub-domains…what a pain in the butt!

I am so easily side-tracked! Made a couple of posts to Korean Business Central; downloaded a software application called Anki that goes through flash cards for learning languages or other things. :-p

Well, the more I get done the better organized I become and the more good stuff I will be able to make available on all of these pages. You are welcome to add content via comments, which I do moderate so I can weed out the ads I do not want you to have to see while here.

Cheers!

Thanks to Kelby Online training video that featured WordPress 3.0! It just paid for itself in the time I saved by not having to google everything. I will update my own personal banners on my subdomains within the next 48 hours. Yes this sunrise photo is one that I took recently in Gangneung, Korea. :-)

I am going to have text on one side and a collage of three photos on the opposite side. Here is the photo:

She is now a senior at the School of Arts Institute in Chicago and I have made some progress on several fronts.
I submit stock photos to two different sites; iStockphoto http://www.istockphoto.com/user_view.php?id=1316972 and Dreamstime http://www.dreamstime.com/Leswaller_info. I also want to submit photos to Shutterstock, but their submission requirements are extremely strict and I need a larger portfolio to submit to them.

I also have two different photographer accounts, one on Model Mayhem http://www.modelmayhem.com/871524 and one on Jurgita http://www.jurgita.com/photographers-id255996.html.

I also have a flickr account http://www.flickr.com/people/leswaller/ and a SmugMug account where I have photos that are for sale http://leswaller.smugmug.com/. Eventually, I will bring the SmugMug account photos onto this site and offer them for sale directly from my site.

This year has been pretty good considering I am working a full-time job and have had some minor health issues that had to be addressed. I look forward to continued progress on my journey to becoming a professional photographer in the future.
