A Farewell to Blogs

Well, I see that this is my first post here since December of 2004, and I can only conclude that I'm no blogger.   After my last post, my online focus shifted to maintaining a couple of mostly visually-oriented web sites. I started with a photo gallery, incorporating most of the photos originally posted here in my short-lived "Photo of the Day" series (a project that was perhaps a bit too ambitious).   I've added several more photos, but nowhere near one a day. I've also added much of the other content that originally appeared here, plus a little more. In a sense it's like a blog, but at a slower pace.

Last July, I discovered a large cache of Kodachrome photos of trains taken by my dad, dating back to around 1951. I was already selling Dad's collection of paper railroad collectibles on eBay, and so I decided to start posting a "Railroad Photo of the Week" for my customer base. Since then, I've actually managed to continue to post at least one new photo each week, and that collection has grown into a site of its own.

The bottom line is that this will no doubt be my last post here, and instead I'll continue to concentrate on expanding and reorganizing my web pages (although I expect the pace will slow down some as the weather gets nicer).

The current home page for my personal site is:

     http://www.pangraph.com/main/   (see the Links page for additional pages)

and Dad's train photos are at:
