What a difference 25 months can make.
That's the span of time since my last blog post. Suffice to say that the world is a very different place.
At the beginning of 2020, Glenn had rebuilt his photography website to drop Wordpress, which has been a struggle for almost 20 years, and moved to the Squarespace platform. He posted exactly one blog entry about the New Digs and new things to come, and started several drafts. After a winter vacation in Cuba, we came home to immediately land in pandemic lockdown.
Within a few scant weeks of working from home, with the realization that this situation would be for the long haul and working from home really suited where Glenn is at in his engineering career (near had enough!), we accelerated our search for out forever home and landed in Wasaga Beach, Ontario just 5 months later.
This year will be consumed by our major renovation on the house, which we have been planning since first laying eyes on the place.
Situated at the southern tip of Georgian Bay, this location provides a tremendous opportunity for someone who favours landscape photography. And given the ready made music community we already had in the Georgian Triangle, there are many opportunities for gig photography as well.
It's been a long and winding road to get this location at this point in life, at least 7 years ahead of the goal. It's going to be great fun for Glenn exploring, both geographically and adding new skills.
The plan for the website is to convert from just Glenn's photography portfolio, and expand into a larger business site encompassing events in the studio, Glenn's photography and Mollie's music content.
The blog will convert to news about all three. Categories can be used to filter content depending on your interests.
The plan for the house is a total reno, creating a space for events and creativity. We won't reveal too much now, but design plans are under way and more exciting news to come!
We hope you check back as the site transitions in parallel with our home construction. We will be making announcements about upcoming events as we get closer to move in date.
