First off, welcome to my brand new blog! For the past few months I’ve been using my KilkennyMusic Staff Blog to give details and information behind photo-shoots and projects I was working on.

But I was growing increasingly aware that as my work progressed and I branched out into different styles of photography, it was becoming less relevant to KKM. And so thanks to Ken McGuire, I now have this separate blog for Oss237.com. It’s in the early stages now, but over the course of the next few weeks I’m also hoping to incorporate a gallery.

The homepage will still display recent shots, my favourite shots from whatever series I’m working on. This blog will give all the details behind the shoots and then the gallery will contain the full series and behind the scenes shots.

At the moment I’m scattered all over the place and it’s getting very difficult to maintain everything, between a photography account on MySpace and Bebo, plus over 1000 live shots in the KilkennyMusic Galleries. I’ll still be using those accounts to display some new shots but some of my upcoming series contain nudity which isn’t allowed so they’ll be displayed in my new gallery instead.

At the start of this week Oss237.com reached a total of 50,000 hits, I was delighted but already in just a week it’s over 51,000 hits!? In less than two years I’ve had visitors from all over the world commenting on my work. The comments and feedback I’ve received have been a constant encouragement, and given me enough confidence to continue experimenting and learning. And so I have to say a huge thank you to all who visit and comment on my work, and I ask that people continue to tell me what they think, be it good or bad, feedback is always welcome, especially as I continue to expand.

So it begins, a new blog and plenty of new shots coming soon.
