    2010 Wild & Scenic Film Festival – Update

    Thursday, May 6th, 2010

    The 2010 Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival ‘On Tour’ made its only Iowa tour stop, and hosts JAX Mercantile did a fabulous job of executing another outstanding event.  The collection of short films was inspiring, the “Enviro-Fair” preceding the event brought over 15 participating companies and environmental organizations, and the well-attended event was great fun overall!  The event is a fundraiser for the Squaw Creek Watershed Coalition.

    Here are a few highlight images from the evening.  A full set of photos can be found over on my flickr site.  If you are an event attendee and would like to purchase a print, but didn’t receive a passcode to the proofing gallery on my main website – please email me for access!

    Thanks to everyone at JAX for hosting the event again this year, and for including Mark S. Peterson Photography!  For complete information on the Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival, see this link!

    Finally, progress!

    Hi Everyone!  So, many of you have been after me for MONTHS to get a blog off the ground.   I honestly tried last fall, as the post below demonstrates, and at least I got WordPress installed at that time.  Then….nada. 

    But finally, at long last, I have actually installed and customized a WordPress blog theme that should allow me to show large, impactful images with my posts!  I still haven’t figured out how to actually do that, but it can’t be any more challenging than getting all the background and banner images, ‘about’ text, and various links set up and working.  But TA-DA, that’s done as of today!  I’ve chosen the SLR Lounge Photography Theme from the helpful guys over at SLRLounge.com.  Do we like it so far? 

    Thanks for your patience, I hope it turns out to be worth the wait.

    And speaking of Worth the Wait, next to be released is a full overhaul of my nature and travel website, mpetersonphoto.com.  I built that site with Frontpage 2002 back when that software was current.  It worked pretty well in that time, but each image gallery page is built by hand, individually, and it just got to be too much work to construct a new page for every doggone image I wanted to share.  So I stopped adding pages.  And images.  But I’ve been working hard at the replacement site this winter, which will offer dynamic galleries that will be a breeze to add new content.  The site’s nearly ready, and I’ll announce here when it’s ready to roll. 

    Thanks for your interest in my work, I truly appreciate it!

    Welcome to my brand new blog!
