After a long, hard road to get my website up – most of the work being to get over some barriers in my head – I finally got it done just under a month ago. Well, since then it’s been gnawing at me that it is separate from this blog. But I don’t want to do away with all this “stuff,” the writing and the photos I’ve posted. I also don’t really want to go to the trouble of trying to tweak all the settings on a new blog or if I were to import all these posts, so…
This blog will stay where it is, as my wordpress.com archive. All new content will be posted on my new blog, which is integrated into my website. The web address/url is: http://edwardbrydon.com/blog
Please update your links, readers, feeds etc. and come and visit often. Now that I’ve got over the hump, I fully expect to be posting more. I’ve even got a new photograph up there already for you to enjoy!
The new blog, for what’s worth, even has a new name: Split Prism. While it lacks a giant header and such to make this obvious it should be forthcoming. “Why Split Prism?” I hear you ask… well here’s a short-ish explanation:
Split Prism: Photography & writing by Edward Brydon. The name split prism evokes both science and photography, the pursuit of both of which I have dedicated my life to. The prism is used in science to demonstrate that light is made up of waves and that each colour within light has a different wavelength. A prism splits light that hits it at an angle to the plane of its side into each component wavelength (colour). Split prism focusing is a type of manual focusing creates two images using a special focus screen between the mirror and the pentaprism in an SLR, or as in rangefinder focusing. When the two images are aligned the the scene is in focus. Photography is also dependent on light, how much or little there is of it. So it is at Split Prism that photography, science, and indeed life, converge.
Update 24th October 2013: After quite a bit of thought the “new blog” will in all actuality be separate from the blog attached to my photography website, linked to above, and cover different things. Split Prism will likely be more writing than photos, and more on science than life in general.
Update 16th October 2014: Well, it turns out Split Prism was a non-starter. I was concentrating on the name rather than the content itself. I haven’t posted nearly as much as I thought I would either, but I have been busy working on some projects. That precluded the writing but means I will have more to share in the future.
See you there!
