new camera and new beginnings

Until recently, my two prized cameras were my Nikon N2020 (35mm and companion for over fifteen years) and my Nikon D40x (DSLR). A few weeks ago, after a few good years, the D40x reached the end of its life, the last one being its most difficult. Luckily, a special person noticed my disgruntled camera-less self and saved the day. My new DLSR friend inspired some changes. The look of this site will change in the coming weeks, housing solely completed photography projects and series. Everything else (photoblogging, tweets, flickr links, monthly mixes, etc) will live on NoGoPhoto.com. Until NoraGomez.com finishes going through its big change, it will be in a state of flux and experimentation of seeing what works. Until then, enjoy this image of Saturday’s eggs and grits breakfast taken with my new friend (and visit NoGoPhoto.com!).

QAX BOOT CAMP SERIES 2011: STORYSELLING

Thu, Mar 24 – Astoria – Your Online Presence!

In this rapidly changing online world, how do you strengthen your web presence efficiently and effectively? What are the tools other artists and arts organizations have used and what are the benefits they have to offer?

Led by social media consultant and trainer, Rebecca Krause-Hardie, our professional panel will share what has worked for them and the lessons they learned along the way. To discuss best practices and their successes our panelists will include Nora Gomez (formerly Queens Museum, currently Alliance for Young Artists & Writers), Meg Cotner (We Heart Astoria) and Man Bartlett (Flux Factory)

Sentimental and mellow with some heartbreak thrown in, the mix includes Hacienda, Bessie Smith, Ray Lamontagne and more. Click here or below to listen on 8tracks.com.
