Fotomoto down for the day and some fun news!!

I received some news from my print provider here on the LomiMonk Photography website, Fotomoto, that they are moving to new servers and simultaneously upgrading their service. As a result the ordering service will be down for most of today (4/6/2011) and will also experience periodic outages over the coming days.

Therefore, if you were hell-bent on ordering a print, canvas, or greeting card from me today, or the next several days, you might run into a blockage or unavailability issue. My apologies for that. It is out of my hands at the moment. Hopefully the ordering process through Fotomoto will be back up to their usual high standard in short order and I very much appreciate your patience while this is all worked through.

On the fun side, LiveBooks contacted me today to tell me I was the lucky daily winner of a free LiveBooks website for a year. I am very excited about this because it means a significant upgrade to my website, something I couldn’t readily afford on my own. So, that will mean some changes are going to come to the look and feel of the site over the coming month, most importantly some beautiful viewing galleries and full iPad viewability. Several of my favorite professional photographers use LiveBooks (Art Wolfe, David duChemin)  to host their website and so I am anxious to discover the reason for their choice for myself. I’m not usually listed as “the lucky winner” in raffles, drawings, or giveaways (who is?) so this is kinda fun. I can hardly wait to get creative with a new, fresh look and report back to you what how I like the service.

So stay tuned!!
