Hooray for Jux

It was a sad day for me a few months ago when Jux announced they were closing. Having developed a passion for photography I loved how the site allowed creativity to flow. That's not to say that Blogger doesn't do the same thing, but in my case I prefer the ease of use and the layout (at least for photography)

I happy to say that I found out today that Jux is here to stay and I am thrilled!

So pop on over and take a gander at my site:

Farewell to Jux

Jux is closing on August 31st 2013.. This is sad news indeed, I loved Jux, it was the perfect showcase for  all sorts of creative and artistic endeavors. I chose it to show case my photography, serious, artistic and just random. That's not to say I don't enjoy it here, I do , but for me it's more a conversation blog or useful information, or place to showcase useless trivia or even my oddball and totally random thoughts and poetry.  I may post a few of my photos here, but it's unlikely this will be the showcase for all of them.. So watch this space for a shameless plug for the new photo blog, where ever that may be.
