Sadly the blog here at www.rich-porter.com has come to be quite neglected over the last few months. The more blogs and websites I read the more obvious it is that there are FAR to many people with nothing to say voicing their opinions on the internet. In many ways I think the same can be said about this blog, however therapeutic/entertaining it might be to swear loudly about estate agents and traffic jams. It seems to me (like many other “blogs”) just a lot of noise and a collection of other people’s links.
To that end, www.rich-porter.com will be wound up and shortly cease to be. I’m not sure how shortly, as I’m keen to back everything up for posterity’s sake. But none-the-less it’s going to end.
However! In the interest of publishing much more focused content I will be running a blog over on my new project www.richportervideo.com which is both a great way to start again and will hopefully drive some traffic to my new site too. The chatter and the random links will be disappearing to make way for reviews, how to’s and a examples of the weird and wonderful video work that is going on around the world.
For those of you who want to update their feed readers this is the RSS feed:
Well it only took a bout of unemplyment to finally get round to cutting this (a whole year after we shot the footage). But better late than never as they always say.
As a favour to my friends in the Team Delete crowd i’ve cut a video from their headcam footage from last year’s trip to the alps. I’m just sorry you’ve had to wait over a year for the results guys! (what a year it’s been though!)
Before I’ve even got started with the “Tides Are Turning” posts, an inspirational couple of sentences I found whilst searching around this subject from internet personality Gary Vaynerchuck
The tides are indeed definitely turning. In an unscheduled departure from the usual swearing at life and assorted internet ‘stuff’ I’m going to take some time to consider some my more publishable thoughts during a time of change. So, enough of the metaphors, what am i babbling on about? Well for the first time since I last applied for a bar job I’m now actively looking for work.
Over the course of a series of posts I will be writing in the coming weeks I will be maintaining the serious tone to look at how I got here (the good and the bad from my educational years) and documenting the excitement, chaos and uncertainty of going freelance for the first time.
I hope I can make it interesting and entertaining as well as an insightful resource for others who may be, or about to be, taking the same leap.
