My New Web Site

I just finished my Web site. Although I am using the same domain name, the site has totally been reconstructed. Please visit and poke around a bit.  Also use the Membership application form to leave a comment about the site. I will write some subsequent posts on the technical aspects of building the site.  


I do want to begin by writing about how I got to the theme of the Web site.  I really was not too happy with my first idea, which was the chronicling of a novice Web designer using specific software. For this reason, I decided to use the previous site as a way to complete the tutorials and then start all over with a new Web site for my project. 


After a week or two, I came up with the idea of a group of people wanting to preserve an art form that is becoming extinct and this is film photography. Kodak's January 2012 bankruptcy claim is the testament that this art form will to die off soon since the largest film manufacturer will no longer be there to support it. However, I have a great deal of respect and admiration for diehards not wanting to relent to pixels, so here it is the  theme of my Web site; a film photography club. I am just sorry that this is fictional.  I have not been in a darkroom for over twenty years and would really like to pick it up again ( I still have my stainless steel developer cans and my Nikon FM10 SLR).  I wish there were such a club in my town.  Maybe when I retire I can start one.  


Well anyway please visit and here is the link:  http://www.vlayag.com/ .
