Moving On

2 min read
It has come to the point in time when I need to move on from dA and concentrate on other websites to display my photos.  These days I seem to have less and less time to devote to everything that is going on in my life.

For me, dA is no longer the same as it was when I joined way back in Feb 2008 and I no longer get the same feeling of belonging.  When I first joined I met so many people and there was an enormous amount of interaction with like minded photographers.  I don't see that now and a lot of the people that I first met are now gone.

Most of the people that I have met and become friends with on dA now keep in contact with me via Facebook but there are quite a few people that are not on Facebook and I will miss them greatly .  Particularly :iconchrisntheboat: :iconcorvidae65: :iconcrayonmaniac: :icondavincipoppalag: :iconsilenigmaarts: :icontthealer56: :iconladyaliceofoz: :iconpirateladyinmaine: :iconbillyrwebb: :iconjoorocks: :iconbogdanepure: :iconcapturingthenight: and :iconwildwassa: who have all been good friends and supporters over the past 6 years.

If you would like to stay in touch you can find me on Facebook www.facebook.com/MalcolmKaton or my email is fireflyphotos@optusnet.com.au

I will wait a few days before closing my account so that anyone that wants to keep in touch has the chance to get my details.

Lately I have been shooting a fair bit of live music and decided to write reviews as well.  I have had a few reviews published in the Get Shot Magazine and this is the latest one to be published www.getshotmagazine.com/2013/1…

Imposition

1 min read
Back in 2010 I met a young singer at the Junior Golden Saddle Awards while I was working as one of the official photographers. The awards are for young country music artists and Ashley had made the finals.  She really liked the photos that I took at the awards and we have kept in touch ever since through Facebook.

Ashley and a few of her friends have now formed a rock band and they have called themselves Imposition. I have seen them perform and for a band that only formed just over a year ago I was very impressed.

The band asked me to take some photos of them that they could use for promotional photos which I agreed to do.  The resulting photos can be seen here fireflyphotos.com.au/impositio…

New Website

1 min read
I have finally created a new website for my photography fireflyphotos.com.au/

My mate :iconaussiesteve1961: created one for me previously (which I was very grateful for) but unfortunately it was not very user friendly and I could not update it without his help.  

I decided to go with a Wordpress  site that I could add blog posts as well as photos.  This way I could use the website as a type of journal as well.

At this stage I am not using it for photography sales but I can add this later or simply link the photos to my Redbubble account.

If you get a chance I would be interested in any feed back that you may have:-)
