All the news that fits. But, first the picture. It’s actually a layered picture containing a scene on a New Mexican highway and a Jefferson Parish expressway. Mostly, it’s the New Mexican photograph that rose to the top of the layer. Obviously, it’s heavily worked over in post production.
I wasn’t sure how far to take it, but the further I went the more I liked what I was doing. That’s important. If you don’t like your work, stop doing it.
Eventually, two photographs became one and became a watercolor painting. Or, something like that. It also became mostly about the gentle color since the main subjects are almost blurred beyond recognition.
That’s the picture. The painting.The watercolor. Here comes the big news of the day. I’ve been struggling for the last few years to decide the viability of having two sites. Storyteller, a blog site. Or, Laskowitzpictures, a website that contains a blog.
WordPress made the decision for me. I received an email saying that they couldn’t bill me for next year, starting on November 18th. They also commented saying almost the same thing except my new year started on December 18th.
They can’t bill me because I intentionally disconnected the link to my credit card because I wanted to know when my billing date was due. In the past they’d bill me and then tell me that done that. Of course, I could dispute it but that’s a PIA. Or, they’d tell me way in advance and I’d forget about it.
I need the Website more than I need the blog site, so I won’t be paying for what you see currently. I think what I’ll do is downgrade to a free version of Storyteller, post less, maybe three times a week and remove my images from the WordPress archive. That’s not a big deal because every picture I publish here goes into a file on my desktop.
Once I can figure out how to link you to Laskowitzpictures.com then I’ll let this version of Storyteller drift away into the clouds. That may take a while. Or not, since my energy will only be focused on one site.
Stay safe. Stay mighty. Wear your mask. Keep your distance. Look after each other. VOTE.
Glad be able to see the pictures again, now I understand what has been happening. And I like this image.

Would you like to share that with me so I can help other readers?

Of course. I just honed in on your work direct through Storyteller rather than using WordPress Reader. Good to see your work again.

Okay. That seems simple.

Accessing Storyteller via WordPress Reader didn’t seem to work the same way.

I have no idea why that is different. But, then, I have no idea why WordPress does most of the things it does.

It was strange, just happened suddenly. But great to be able to access the full post through Storyteller.

It probably doesn’t. And, if it did it was probably changed as the block system is further implemented.
