A New Direction

Although this is a Photography Blog, it is not strictly a photography blog. I do have a post about the dangers of CFL bulbs.  Although CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) bulbs are not something sold anymore, due to the absolute domination of LED bulbs, and the odd few Incandescent that are still sold, CFLs are pretty much nearly non-existent.
I plan on updating this blog a bit more regularly, however I'm not going to strictly focus on photography. I plan on focusing on a multitude of things that I enjoy, from small engine repair, to automotive repair, and discussion, to the discussion of the ridiculous Electric Vehicle push.

So an update on what I've been up to. Well for starters I left the podcast I was with for several years, due to a complete falling out with the Podcast main-host. I'd rather not get into it, but he is quite narcissistic, and incredibly rude. It was for the best, and I had already planned on leaving the podcast as it was moving completely in the wrong direction, and had lost the plot.
So after leaving, I ended up putting down my cameras, and focusing on learning new skills, and honing the ones I have.

For one, I had started up a YouTube Channel, but no, it wasn't a serious attempt and push into the world of YouTube, it was an experiment, and an experience.  I learned a lot about video editing, and planning.  I mostly learned editing, planning however I was still out to lunch on, and same with video production. Good grief I was terrible.

I did it for about a year, but then left YouTube as I found the niche to be too restricting, and limited. After being off YouTube for a couple of years, and mostly just focusing on work, and family, I got laid off, and had to figure out what to do with my time away from work, little realizing that I'd be off for several months (close to a year) before going back to work.  That was when I learned about the repair of small engines.  
Of all things, when so many people are going to Battery Electric, why would I want to start repairing gasoline engines?  Well, for one, gasoline engines are not going anywhere, anytime soon. Let's face it, generators are going to start to become a hot ticket item as more and more people start to claim to switch to electric cars. 
So someone will need to know how to repair those engines to keep them running.
However, instead of just learning first how to repair these engines, I decided to document my journey on YouTube at the same time.  Crazy idea, I know.
It is what it is.

So fast forward to today, I'm both working, and repairing small engines on the side, while recording YouTube videos.

I plan on mixing up my YouTube channel and blog together. 
I think it'll be a great mix, sharing the video on Blogger, with a post on what I did, why I did what I did, and any other story along with the video and repair.
Hopefully they mesh together, and I can keep it going.  It will be a challenge, but will be worth it.

So, this may be a bit all over the place, but right now, I pretty much am too.

Chat soon guys!
