Going silent for a few days ... prepping for the new site launch! Dec 26th | filed in: News

These past few days have been very odd.
I've had a LOT go wrong, yet I've felt strangely peaceful.
I hope that peace lasts, but I can do without all the headaches!!!

My new camera, the 5DMkII I'd been so eager to get, died on me.
It went off to Canon in Irvine, and I'm hoping to get it back soon.

For those of you who are curious to know exactly what happened, here's the story:
I went to the beach with my friend, Dana, for a marketing photoshoot for some Mpix ads.
I was going to get some stills and videos for the new website at the same time.
I took out the new camera to do some test shots, pressed the shutter down,
I could hear the mirror flip up, but it sounded like it was getting stuck or something (ACK!).
The camera LCD said "ERR 20... shooting not possible at this time..."
I tried everything to "reset" the camera. Nothing worked.
When I got home, I put the camera on the phone with Canon. Nothing worked.
They had me send it in right away.
I hope I get it back soon!!!

As if the camera troubles weren't enough, my websites have been hacked
multiple times over the past few weeks, and I'm trying to get the new site ready to go.
I'm transferring my websites to a new hosting company because my current (soon "ex")
hosting company has been hacked so very much lately. This isn't easy stuff!
(exactly why I got into photography -- to do website management and web hosting! ughghg!)
I also need help from my blog folks to get the blog over to the new host as well.
I'm sure the dudes at Flosites will take good care of me!
I'll keep you posted and let you know how it goes.
This will be my last blog post on the current web hosting company.
I hope the transfer goes well. (fingers and toes crossed!)

You may also see the Christmas website slideshow go down as I transfer my website
to the new hosting company. When you see that show go away,
you'll know I'm getting close to launching the shiny new website!! yay!

The website will include a lot of pictures that were part of the Christmas show,
as well as some of my old Barefoot Memories favorites.
I'm excited for you to see it!


I'll start posting again once the blog is all setup on the new web hosting company,
until then, I hope you're having a wonderful, peaceful holiday season,
and have a great New Year!
