I’ve been away for two days working on technical issues instead of photography. The big one is that I’ve changed from richardxthripp.com to thripp.com for myself and my users. A lot of work, but worth it because it’s so short. Read more about it here. I’d been posting to Twitter about it, right after I discovered that thripp.com had become available, yesterday.

Expect some more photography tomorrow.

I’ve been working on the Thripp.com network non-stop over the past ten days. It’s looking great; I learned a lot and made a lot of progress with features. The next step is to move my blog, Brilliant Photography by Richard X. Thripp, over to it. I’ve done it and you’re reading it now.
