Well it’s a new year now and it’s time for me to work again, and I can tell you 2010 will be a good year for me!

I’ve done a little lifting on this blog, adding some new wordpress pluggin and I’ve changed my portfolio page using only the flash slider of flickr in it. Maybe I’ll do another website just to showcase my pictures or I’ll change the portfolio section again, don’t know we’ll see later.

On another note here is a book you should all read: The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich

It’s a life changer, weather your a photographer, a student, a CEO, or just an employee in some big company, don’t be fooled by the title who look like a scam and do yourself a favor: buy this book! I’ll certainly talk more about this book and the Lifestyle Design on some upcoming blog post.

This blog will be updated more often starting from today, I’ll talk mostly about photography and travel, so don’t hesitate to follow me on twitter, RSS feed, or on facebook!

I you wonder about the photography on your left it’s a picture I took in Barcelona at Park Güell with my little Canon G10

Let’s begin my new blog, my first one in English. It will be mostly about anything related to photography. If you want to read my French one, go to http://olivier.d-clubs.com. If you want to know more about me you can try the about section.

I’m thrilled to lunch this new improved website. Before www.oliviermonteux.com was just a little showcase for my passion, but now since I’m planning to become, one day,  a pro-photographer, I really needed to take my website to another level and I choose to use Wordpress with the Modularity theme (http://graphpaperpress.com) and added some more features like Facebook connect, to let people add comments, also tweeter and flickR are fully compatible thanks to some nice plug-in.
I still have more work to do like add the portfolio section but in the end I’m pretty pleased with this blog right now.

Before I begin, I really want to give a big thanks to David Hobby, his website Strobist.com and his DVD really helped me a lot in learning how to use light in photography (Well I’m still learning and hope I will always be still learning, more and more about lighting and never become conceited) I also want to thanks Scott Kelby, his books and website kelbytraining.com truly made my life simpler with Photoshop and Lightroom !
