I know I know...so little posting but here is the reason

Hi there again,
yes I know not much going on right now you are thinking, but I am working actually on my goal.
Yes you heard right, a goal towards a journey that I should have taken long ago but always found a reason to avoid it.
I traveled always a lot in the country and took lots of pictures all the time and was really thinking about how to get one day a book out with my "art".
And that is what I am doing right now, I am in pretty much final stage of editing it in my open source DTP program called Scribus. Without this magnificent peace of Software this dream would have never come true to me.
I am really proud that I can soon present the full book as ebook version for now, wish that I can raise enough to maybe get some hard copies done. Hard copies would be great when I hit the road with an RV this or next year to travel through Canada taking pictures of places in my style.
With me will be an very excellent Songwriter and Singer that I will follow with m camera to her Stages on her tour through Canada.
Right now I can only say what "simply red" once sang...money is too tight to mention, I know my quality of work and am sure that this book will be greatly appreciated.
I see photography like music, you have to recreate your art instead of following the Hurd all the time and wonder why you never get anywhere. I have my own style, a bit of traditional mixed with fresh flavours. I don't want every picture polished till nothing that satisfied me that moment is gone.

Give me a few more days and follow me till release day.
Thank you,
JayDee

Finally on itunes

Hey hey hey,
what a morning.
Finally found out that my song is submitted to itunes, thanks to routenote for helping small artists to get their stuff out and be able to make a buck or two. It feels great to have this ability without sacrificing your soul to the majors.
My music is mostly sampler based ( I use the MPC 1000 from Akai ) and gets spiced with some extras through Garageband.
I would recommend to do some research and see which distributer for your digital music would be the best. There are many out there with different offers that change rapidly as this whole digital music game is growing. Another good distributer is tunecore, there are countless distributers for your music out there, too many to name. But before you sign up, be aware of this little hint.
Say you have a cd and you think you could double up sales using both tunecore and routenote, that is total wrong. If you sell the same songs through both of them (tunecore and routenote) and both push it up to say itunes, what happens is that your song or cd won't be showing up. Itunes thinks it is spamming and put you up on a blacklist,that I heard from many others. BE AWARE of this and only sell through one digital distribution service. And now good luck on selling your music and I wish you all the best of luck. If you have any questions you can leave a comment and I will answer as good as I can. The link below is to my song on itunes, support your small artsist.
Thank you,
JayDee

Supporter Shop is UP

I can't believe it!! Thanks to estoremonster, I could create a little store to make my own merchandise for YOU.
Yes, that is right, just for you.
Right now I have one Item up only, but tonight I will fill this with some sweet designs that will satisfy your soul.
Just check on the site navigation panel (or here) and see the new store, that is how easy it can be done.
Big thank you to estoremonster and their superb customer support, they helped so quick and fast that I was able to set this up in minutes.
I don't get any commission for this bragging, just so satisfied how easy it was. This might be something for other blogger or even entrepreneurs with good graphic skills. Make a buck selling your own designs beside your job and get paid for each sale.
I love it and can only recommend them, tried many before and was not satisfied.
Estoremonster .....YOU guys rock.
