New Look

The blog is sporting a new look today. The previous theme had been used for quite awhile so I figured it was time for something new. Along with the new theme there is a new photo gallery. The gallery features my Flickr albums.

For those of you who only follow this blog via RSS stop on by and let me know what you think of the new look.

I’ve gutted and revamped my photoblog at http://photography.thewentzels.org. I moved the backend from Pixelpost to Wordpress and created a custom theme.

There were only a handful of photos on the old site. So far two have been reposted. The others will begin appearing again over the next several days/weeks in addition to new photos.

If you’re interested in receiving updates when new photos are posted to the site there’s an RSS feed or the option of receiving updates via email. You can subscribe by visiting the “About” page at the site. The “Stay Updated” section in the About page will give you all the info you need.

We went out to dinner tonight for my oldest son’s birthday. When we asked him what he would like to eat he said:

I decided this morning that I would like steak!

Such expensive tastes for someone so young.

I’ve uploaded a few of my photos to Imagekind. Imagekind allows artists and photographers to sell their work online. I actually created an account because I’m interested in getting a few high quality, framed prints of some of my photos. Now that my account is set up anyone can get prints of the images I’ve uploaded. Check it out at http://ryanwentzel.imagekind.com. By the way, you can see all of my photos at my Flickr photostream.

So far this year I’ve read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (highly recommended), Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (not quite as good as Dracula), completed volume 1 of Iain Murray’s biography of Martyn Lloyd-Jones (I first read the 2 volumes in 2001-2002 and started them again late last year), and am now working my way through The Odyssey by Homer. Anyone reading anything interesting? Feel free to share.

I took two or three photography courses in high school and enjoyed them quite a lot. After high school though I didn’t continue to take photos. Now almost ten years later I’ve taken up photography again. When I have photos worth sharing I’ll post them here on Fridays and at various other times. You can find more of my photos at my Flickr photostream and at my photoblog. The photoblog will feature my favorite photos.
