Ramblings, photographs on a haphazard basis

I'm back. Let the bells ring out! The banners fly!

Okay, I'm back after something of a small absence. While I was gone, it appears Blogger has become part of the Google Empire, but I'm not objecting. Yet.

Although I've been away, that doesn't mean I haven't been writing—and photographing. I even have another blog, one on the company's website. This past year has been a pretty intensive period of learning new equipment and new programs, and the future doesn't appear to offer less of that. That’s something to look forward to; I don't ever want to get to the stage where I give up on learning something new.

I don't know yet whether I want to link to my other blog. This one may become a little less specific although with a name like 'frustrated fotog' how far astray can I wander. I think what I might like to do is post photos (my own) that appeal at the time. Few photos seem to have the kind of longevity that I found years ago with my drawings and paintings, but it may just be that I take thousands of photos, and there's always something new to capture the eye. That's undoubtedly part of the frustration of photography.

As I type this I’m looking around at some of the options available, and I see icons for adding photos and video. The latter is my next field of study because I’d like to see what I can do with the equipment I have available, and what I might find for audio. If I can reasonably master iMovie, I can do two audio tracks by the look of it. Now the question is, if I post a video in this blog, who is hosting it? Google? Me?

Technologically, I’m either a babe or a dodderer. I keep plugging away and hope that all—or a substantial apart thereof—will someday become clear.
