Is this Even a Blog by Pete Ambrose? 

In the coming days, the official website (www.peteambrose.com) will be re-launched with a bold facelift and new design ushering in the debut of four new fashion/beauty series (“Manifold MacGuffin”, “Chic Amongst Reality”, “Zonal Virtuosa” and “Levity”), my first foray into narrative still life (“The Human Wake”, “The Product Imperative”, “Civil Assemblage” and “Waste-Culture”), a new textural fine art series (“Harmonious Wear”) as well as new additions in to existing series (such as “The Middle-Class Starlet”, “Aged Angels”, “Assumed Continuum”,  “Structural Familiarity” and musician tableaux).

The website will feature a clean and accessible presentation of the work as well as a refreshed and renamed portfolio distribution that better categorizes my work and aesthetic style.  Image titles will also be available for all that apply.  Nearly one out of every three photos on the website will be brand new with the remaining content making up for about 50% of what was on the old site.

The re-launch also is the beginning of a new effort for my fledgling business to make its presence known in the social media outlets such as Facebook (www.facebook.com/peteambrosephoto) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/peteambrose).  In an effort to expand my business and connect with other artists both established and up and coming, I’ve joined the Talent Creative (www.talentcreative.com/peteambrose).

My business and reputation was once built upon my old MySpace page long ago, which is, of course, currently an utter ghost town (www.myspace.com/peteambrosephotography).  I’ll also continue to use my model mayhem page (www.modelmayhem.com/peteambrosephotography) exclusively to work with up and coming talent for personal projects and aesthetic experimentation only.

What should you take away from this blog besides a tease and a bunch of links?  Well, you should be relieved that I’ve decided to join modern civilization.  Hopefully it’s not too late for utter, world cyber domination to get some “likes”, hashtags and other social thing-a-ma-jigs.

Each weekday going forward (Monday-Friday) after the launch, a “photo of the day” will be tweeted and posted on Facebook for friends and followers to take in, comment upon and enjoy.  I will also offer more off-the-cuff tweets and posts to remind the world that I have a pulse and a questionable sense of humor at best.  Joy.

The Rebel Blog will be updated more often and will focus on concise statements about my creative aesthetic and a more personable stream of conscious; allowing friends and followers an opportunity to understand my process, who I am and the evolving goals for the work in the coming weeks, months and years to come.

Time to start trending. #Change.
