Well, it has been a long time coming, but it had to happen.  It’s time for a fresh start.

On March 10, 2012, I purchased the domain www.sportdogphoto.com.  I knew absolutely zero about websites, and was relying on the experience of a couple good friends to get me started.  Being that I had no clue what I was doing, and that there was going to be a learning curve to building a website, it was decided at the time to build the site under a sub domain, and then transfer it to the primary once I had everything in place.  I’m sure that some of you noticed that when you went to my site, the domain was newsite.sportdogphoto.com.  

As time passed and I took longer than expected to get everything set, I began to build pretty good search ratings on the “temporary” domain.  Even when I had things at a comfortable place, I wasn’t sure how to move my content over to the proper domain.  Ergo 2017.  5 years is enough and it was now time to make this happen.  I decided that since I was going to have to basically rebuild my site at the new domain, that I might as well give it a fresh look while I am at it.

And, here we are.  I like simplicity and ease of use.  I try not to over infosize(yeah, just made that up) my visitors, and let them get to the places they want to go.  I hope that this new site provides the necessary content that people are looking for, while still engaging new visitors.

So, whats new?  Well, not a whole lot is exactly new.  I have fresh home page that while similar to the old, has a cleaner menu and allows the viewer to browse the images uninhibited by the menu or content.  I am constantly building my collection of images available for stock commercial and editorial use.  I have so many images on so many drives, it will take some time to go through them all and get them loaded on the server.  I will also be adding new images as I go. 

I am also hoping to be a little better at keeping this blog stocked with fresh content.  What that will be, I haven’t quite decided yet.  Leave a comment below, and let me know if there are any subjects you would like to read about.  I am thinking besides covering events, I may also cover some general photography tips, thoughts, and occasional rants.

All in all, this is the right step to be taking.  I hope you will continue to help make Sport Dog Photography the go to service for all your dog, hunting, and outdoor photography needs.
