Magic.
Just call me Mister Lizard. Oops. I meant wizard. The work really isn’t so wizardly. It’s just a matter of seeing in the field, knowing what you want to do in post production and executing.
I wish it was just that easy building websites, or adding on to a WordPress blog site. Unfortunately, it isn’t.
I spent a good part of yesterday fiddling around. First, I tried an outside template company. All was fine except that they wanted too many changes. Some changes that I’m unwilling to do.
Okay.
Start again.
I thought that I could just do the same thing using WordPress. After a couple of hours I learned why normal coders pull their hair out when they try to use WordPress. It is so hard that very few people understand it. Those that do, specialize in just a few templates and know the inner workings inside and out.
I’m not one of them. I don’t code at all.
It came to me. I have a website that I’ve sort of just let languish. The templates there are very easy to use. No coding needed. I decided to refresh and rebuild. It even has a blog component. You can see it as it stands today at http://www.laskowitzpictures.com. For sure, it’s changing.
I just can’t import all of you. I’m not sure that’s necessary. I have around 15,000 followers. About 90% of those are ghost followers. Maybe more. I have no idea why they followed me. Many of them don’t exist except in my numbers.
For those of you who really do follow me and comment, I can easily send you all an email telling you how to follow me again. You’ll get emails just like you did in the past. And, Storyteller on WordPress? I have a business account that I pay for. I’ll downgrade to a free account and post from time to time.
How’s that sound?
The picture. No real wizardry. Just some layering and tinkering. And, adding a little color and brightness. Not wizardry, but a little white magic.
Oh, one more thing.
I want the renewed website to be simple. I don’t want to post everything I’ve ever photographed. If you were me, and having seen my work for a bit, what direction would you go? There are no wrong answers.
☀️✨☀️ 💫💛☺️

I rarely comment due to limitations of a health condition but I’d like to keep following. Your work is outstanding; I’m interested in visual art, nature, and NOLA.

I’ll certainly include you. If you want to see it in it’s very ragged state, it’s http://www.laskowitzpictures.com Look for the usual… Storyteller.

Your site looks beautiful. Simple, yet refined (although I am sure it is not a “simple” process at all!).
I will of course follow your work with great pleasure.

Thank you so much. There’s a lot of work to do, yet. But, at least the basic format and home page is done. I’ll try to clean things up over the next week or so. I’ll start blogging from there during the transition. I think. 🙂

The current main photo on your other website is really special. I would enjoy continuing to follow you, Ray. Whatever it takes. 🙂

Thank you. I made that during the Krewe of Red Beans parade on Lundi Gras, earlier this year. It should be too hard to follow me there. I believe I can notify you by email just as I do here.
