The two areas that I enjoy most are fashion/glamor and weddings.&amp;nbsp; I am migrating all my galleries to my SmugMug site because it just is much smoother at hosting photography and video and I like the yearly charge rather than the monthly drain on the checkbook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I'm getting ready to move my squarespace bloging to here.  I am consolidating my web activity, and dropping a site I don't use.  I have been using SmugMug for a while, I really like it.  Square Space hasn't been bad, but SmugMug does better with photos and video.  This will become the blog attached to that website.  I expect the migration to be done in less than a month.  I will continue to post at www.tomsparksphotography.com for a while, and then migrate that pointer to my SmugMug page.  I'll blog here and their for a couple of weeks and then shut the other one down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This photo was taken at the Gathering of Tribes in Salt Lake City.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7690491983668967421-1274475867923301674?l=tomsparksphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tomsparksphotography.blogspot.com/feeds/1274475867923301674/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://tomsparksphotography.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-blog-getting-ready-to-move.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7690491983668967421/posts/default/1274475867923301674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7690491983668967421/posts/default/1274475867923301674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tomsparksphotography.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-blog-getting-ready-to-move.html' title='New Blog getting ready to move'/><author><name>Tom Sparks Photography</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13101319410368266408</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m8ZsDTl10ns/Sx-aJ4j9ClI/AAAAAAAAAAM/gSFM0d6ph8Y/s72-c/Katie+Belly+Dancing-4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
