GoodBye 2011, Hello 2012!!!

‎2011 is coming to a close and as many of you I have reflected on it...the good, the bad & the ugly of '11...as for 2012 I know there are going to be hard times, I'm no fool...I know that we might lose one or the other this year...we might hit personal bumps in the road & become down, finding the upside will be hard...but I know family, far & near will help power through it...I know that what I plan on to achieve will be tough, but I WILL DO IT!!!

I know in the past year I may not have been the best Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Nephew or Friend...I can't change what was but I can change what will be...so if I fall under one of those choices & I have upset or offended you...well then so be it, it's taking it's place in the pages of history of 2011, let's do our best to move past it and make 2012 a much better year!!! 

So I am sorry!!!

So watch out 2012, I am gunning for you...I am coming into the New Year with high hopes...mama always said "Shoot high, but aim low", so that is what I will do...


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! & MUCH SUCCESS TO ALL OF YOU, HOW EVER YOU DEFINE IT!!!

New Venture

Sometime ago I decided that I would pursue and further my education in photography.  As it looks right now I will be starting school at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online.  I hope to hone my skills and learn to more useful techniques.

So with that said I have also looked into and started selling a few prints online at Fine Art America.  So if your interested in buying a gift for someone or for yourself check it out at fine art america.  You can also find me on facebook at kalweit photography , I have other types of work that I have done.

Thanks for supporting me.

A quick note from me.  After prompting from a few family and friends I have decided to take the first of many steps in a new direction.

For years I have enjoyed taking pictures, although I am currently a novice I have taken some rather well pictures.  I have decided to enroll in to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division for Photography and gather more knowledge, better techniques and hone the skills that I currently have.  I have also decide to start a page on facebook to showcase some of my work, which you are encouraged to join.  I will upload pictures not just from the present but from the past as well.

I will kindly except any questions or pointers, but I do ask that even with the copyright name across my pictures that you DO NOT in anyway use as your own or for your own personal use.  If you feel so incline to own a copy of a print please contact me and I will be more then happy to provide you with a print of your choice for a fair price.

I would like to Thank You for your support.

again please join me on facebook.

Break it down for us...

On Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 11:54 am I made my very first blog.  So today I thought I would go back and look at the stats on viewership, location of viewers, browsers used, etc…

So after 7 months and 10 blog entries later here are the numbers:

355 all time views, out of that this is how the audience breaks down:

Untied States 309

Russia              18

Ukraine            6

Canada             3

U.K.                    3

Netherlands    3

Australia          2

Germany          2

France              1

India                 1

It shows me a total of 355 all time views but when you add it up it comes to 348, not sure why but hey I will take it.

Now out of that browsers used are as follows:

38% use Internet Explorer

26% use Firefox

12% use Safari

8%   use Chrome

5%   use Mobile Safari

4%   use Mobile

2%   use Opera

<1% use Net Front

The operating systems used are as follows:

72% Windows

12% Macintosh

6%    iPhone

5%    Android

1%    Linux

<1% BlackBerry

<1% iPad

<1% Samsung

<1% other unix

<1% iPod

I have to say that the broad spectrum of different uses here are awesome, although we can clearly see who the winner is for main usage.

You viewers have found me via different searches here are just some examples:

www.google.ca

www.yourcondtions.ru

www.facebook.com

www.lenovosnn.ru

Some have found this blog through key word searches or referring sites such as www.book-kitten.blogspot.com.

But through it all I have gained 1, just 1 follower and 3 comments not including mine, which would bring the total to 5 comments.  The most viewed blog was the one titled Nick & Kelly’s Wedding with “You Got Mail” & Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry tied for second at 26 all time views.

So I want to say Thank You for those of you that have over the past 7 months come here to this blog and looked at it, please leave me comments/feedback, ask questions.  I hope that in the next few months if and when I do another breakdown like this we can see huge growth and a little better in the follower’s area.

So Thank You again to all of you...

I Know & I Will!!!

So I know I like to take photo's, I know that some of the ones I take are excellent and if I had to pay for them I would.  I know I want to capture a moment in time, that when someone goes back and looks at it brings a smile, a tear, a memory to the foreground.  I know I can do it & I know I can succeed at it, I know I just need a chance, an oppurtunity, that first chance.

But until then I shall take the pictures I like, I will find people that will let me take their photo and add it to the pages of their history.

So Here are a few Pictures I have taken...I hope you enjoyed.

AND PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT GOOD, BAD OR INDIFFERENT!!!!

also is you have any suggestions on what you would like to see again leave a message or email me at wilhelm.kalweit@gmail.com

Nick & Kelly's Wedding

I made this video from the pictures I took at my sister-in-law's wedding....the music is by the Plain White T's and Taylor Swift...their songs just fit so perfectly on a perfect day.

The video is of low quality on here due to size...so please take that in to consideration.

I hope they enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it for them....
