The Visited Planet blog has been moved to http://visitedplanet.com/wordpress/
All previous posts are now hosted at the new site – there is still some redesign going on so please bear with me while I sort this out over the next few weeks.

I have just opened a new account to host my images here – http://visitedplanet.smugmug.com/
This is under development and I’ll play around with it over the next few weeks.
In the meantime still use the database on http://www.visitedplanet.com/ and I’ll notify you of further changes.
This is an exciting time as I make some radical changes to the site that are much needed!

You know it’s spring time in Australia when…
Noisy lorikeets feed outside your window. The banksias in the garden have erupted with colour this year and the lorikeets are making the most of them. This happy, and noisy little fella, had a great time feeding outside my office window this morning.

I spent all day Friday preparing photographs for the FCCT / OnAsia Photo-journalism Contest. As usual I had left it until the last minute and had to do it all rather quickly so I’m under no illusion my submission was all that great but it’s a good process to go through – and it does refresh you on some of the better images you’ve taken in the last 12 months.
I like OnAsia as they utilize local photographers in the Asia/Pacific region with a focus on photojournalism and documentary images.
About two weeks ago I visited my original webmaster, Ben Van Klinken, for tips on how to reorganize my site. So you may well see weird changes to the blogs and site as that’s being sorted out – someone has already pointed out they don’t like the blog (and I don’t either so it will be changed before long).
Anyway Ben wrote this incredible program for the database years ago that has functioned without a glitch for a whole decade. Even he’s been amazed by that.
Anyway the long and the short of it, is that within a month or so there should be a new look Visited Planet that is far less klunky and old fashioned. If you’ve been checking out the site for awhile–thanks–feel free to send in some ideas.
It will have much better social media, a far easier shopping cart and the possibility to order prints, books, cards etc directly off the site. The main issue will be finding time to do all this but I’m hoping to stop doing so much editing work and return to my first loves–writing and photography–hopefully pretty much full time like I used to within the next few months. With that should hopefully come all the products I used to do – cards, calendars, maybe even some exhibitions.
So please stay tuned til then…
