The miniatures that I've put in my last couple of site updates have each been photographed a few times now, and there are about half as many up as there should be, simply because they haven't turned out any good.  I'm using the same photography set up I've been using for a few years now, but suddenly it's like I've forgotten what I was doing.

I'm just going to have to keep trying to fix my color balance and re-trying, but my goal of getting caught up by the end of the year is looking frustratingly less and less likely.

Of 2008.

It would be fair to call that significant slackage.  It's not that I haven't painted anything since then, I just haven't taken the time to photograph my miniatures and post. Yet.  Time to shame myself into action.

I looked back over my collections to see what hadn't been posted to my site yet.  I came up with 36 models, or what would be 25 entries in the gallery.

Considering how slow I paint, that's actually not too bad as far as pacing goes.  I'm not going to win any speed painting competitions but that's not why I got into this hobby anyway.

My posting rate, though, is far less impressive.  Initially I had to dismantle my photography area when that room got redone, then we had guests using it over the holidays, and as time wore on I just didn't feel motivated to break everything back out.

Truth is, excuses are a dime a dozen, and I really need to get back to updating my gallery. I've volunteered to help take pictures for members of the St. Louis Fight Club, so I've started getting pictures of my own miniatures at the same time.

This weekend I will start putting together web pages and uploading them to my site so expect see some no photographs either right before or right after Warmachine Weekend.  With any luck I'll be caught up with my own miniatures right around when Fight Club games kick off in January.
