I have been thinking for quite some time now about how to structure my blog in a way that really works for me. Upon rather serious thinking and brainstorming I realized that a major problem for me was a fundamental lack of structure. I would post whenever I felt like it. This was great for keeping the pressure off, but not so good for keeping the writing going. While I would at times post several articles a day, I would also go days, weeks and sometimes months without any substantive posts.
In the interest of bringing a more disciplined and professional tone to my blog I have decided to embark on a regular posting schedule. Until further notice I will be doing twice weekly postings. On Mondays I will post on theory. This will cover matters of aesthetics ranging from my more abstracted conceptual works to the practicalities of how sidelight works. The second post will be on Fridays and it will contain matters of a more business oriented nature. This will include anything from taxes and savings to advertising and networking as a freelancer.
Because the work of lighting design truly encompasses these two very disparate things, I feel it is important to bring them to this forum with equal weight. My intent with this new posting policy is to bring my readers content that they will find useful and ideas that will be engaging or thought provoking.
The original intent of this blog was to engage in dialogue about art, design, lighting, freelancing and so forth. I would encourage any of you who read this blog regularly to contact me either by email or in comments and let me know if there are any topics you would be particularly interested in having me cover here.
Thank you for reading.
