We're Going Through Some Changes

2010 was an incredible year for CurrentPhotographer.com. We achieved growth that I never could have imagined and in the process created a resource for the photo community to learn from and share ideas. Our goal is to make 2011 even better and I wanted to start the new year off right by letting you know about some changes that we’re making.

When I first started CurrentPhotographer.com it was my little pet project. A place to share ideas and things that interested me within the photo industry. I love gear and technology so early on I spent a lot of time writing about those topics. Since then CurrentPhotographer.com has evolved and become more of a community driven site. In addition to myself, we currently have 10 active Contributors with more on the way and several new Guest Bloggers joining in the conversation every week. Because of this I tweaked the site header a bit to remove the picture of ME. It’s not just about me anymore, it’s about you, the CurrentPhotographer.com community so I thought the image of me at the top of every page was no longer appropriate. But never fear, you can always see my smiling face on the About page 🙂

Over the next month you’ll start noticing some design tweaks. We’ll be revising the site navigation a bit to make it a little easier to find things and we’ll be adjusting the layout to accommodate advertising and sponsorships. Don’t worry we won’t be filling up the pages with Google Ad Sense, they will be tasteful, relevant ads for products and services you’ll be interested in learning more about.

I’m sure many of you already saw the Canon Lens Mug Giveaway promotion we ran. It was a huge success and I received a lot of feedback from you saying how much you enjoyed it. I did however receive some feedback from our friends outside of the U.S. that were disappointed because they couldn’t participate. We heard you loud and clear! We’ll be organizing some future promotions that will be open to more of our audience. Unfortunately due to legal limitations it won’t be possible for our promotions to be open worldwide but we’ll do the best we can.

We’ve got a lot of great things planned for 2011 like; more tips and resources to help you make better images and grow your photography businesses, and new features to help build your brand and gain exposure for your work. It’s going to be an exciting year, I hope you’ll join us!
