I've been doing quite a bit of thinking about my blog and I want to make it better in so many ways. I want it to be useful, helpful, inspirational, positive, educational, conversational, uplifting, spiritual, fun, and most of all more consistent.

So from now on, I'm going to attempt to post something every weekday (Mon-Fri). Since I have very little spare time these days, I'm going to keep the posts short for the most part and many posts will be text only (It's hard to find an image every day that I want to show). I will mix it up with images and videos when possible to keep things diverse and interesting. I also will be focusing some attention on others (photographers, friends, mentors, family, etc.) when I am inspired by them or just want to give a shout out.

I want to thank all of you who have followed my blog this far. Your comments have been such an encouragement to me and have made me feel so blessed to have such great people in my life! Please continue to post comments. I enjoy reading them so much! All of your comments get sent right to my blackberry

I also want to apologize for not being more consistent with my posts and for taking weeks off at a time when I have been busy. I promise to make the adjustments in my schedule to keep this blog a priority.

God has blessed me with so many wonderful friends. Julie, Aidan and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Until tomorrow, God bless you and keep you!
Mike

I check your blog almost everyday hoping you have post a new entry. So glad you are going to be sharing your knowledge, life, and buisness even more than you already do. Last night I had this awesome dream which gave me an idea. I will email you with it to see what you think :) Amanda

I figured you're. Busy usually if I don't hear from one of my buddies who for a while, it means that the cash is rolling in. So with that in mind don't feel too bad. Even though I don't shoot weddings any longer I still look to you for inspiration.

Thanks

Mike,

I personally value your insights and look forward to a chance to see what's new on your blog. You know my business isn't photography (for the time being), but you're experience and referrals have helped me get goin' in what I'm doing.

Mucho Love, Hermano.

A daily dose of Mike Colon!! What could be better than that? Your blog IS VERY helpful, inspirational, positive, educational, conversational, uplifting, spiritual, AND fun! That’s what draws me to it. Thank you so much for showing us how it’s done and for being an incredible role model.

Thanks Mike!!! What I love most is when you list the technical details on how each image was taken. Down to the full detail as in http://www.mikecolon.net/blog/archives/2005_12_01_archive.html . For example, i would read and read on how to use different type of metering mode, Av mode, manual, and etc… Some made no sense to me until I read your blog.
