Our loyal blog followers have probably noticed a lack of posts recently, that is, if anyone is still following our blog after such a lengthy hiatus. We found ourselves caught in a bit of a dilemma last season with regards to the blog, and it has caused us to reconsider how, and when, we blog our assignments.
Our favorite wedding magazine, one we are often published in, has a strict “no blog” policy on submissions. And they’re not alone – several publications, in North America, have instituted the same policy. I understand why – they want their content to remain exclusive to them, otherwise why would someone purchase their magazine? But it has made it challenging for us as we consider all of our weddings worthy of submitting to a variety of magazines.
And so, we chose not to blog many (almost all) of our events last year, in anticipation of publication. This had made for a very empty, lonely blog recently, and we’re working hard to rectify that. We now know which 2010 weddings will be published this year, so we can finally start sharing last year’s work.
So, with that, we have a series of posts planned for the coming weeks. Some will share our weddings of 2010, some our favorite details. We will introduce you, officially, to our associate(s) and share some of his work with you. And we will, once again, share some of the new products and business ideas we have developed.
2011 is shaping up to be an interesting year full of travel, teaching, writing, dreaming, building and, of course, shooting. We are looking so forward to sharing with all of you and hope that our loyal readers will once again return to our blog.
And because this is a photography blog, some of what we are working on…
This is a very sad post actually. For those of us who cannot follow you in the magazines it means that we either get what was not “selected” or nothing. For me your blog has brought a lot of inspiration and I hope it will be preserved in the future…
I agree with you – it’s a bit of an unfair policy. We’re torn on the issue of holding our posts for conventional publishing. And while I understand the editor’s view on things, I understand your view as well.
We’ll figure this out soon, and in the meantime, I promise to blog more! Don’t forget to check out our non-image dense blog at http://boringisalreadyfull.com for our daily musings on life, the industry and more.
Your job is fine art. Love you approach is always a starting place of inspiration.
