Hello Ocular Octopus, Goodbye Gallery Hopper

by Todd ~ September 9th, 2009. Filed under: Misc..
After five-and-a-half years of Gallery Hopper, it’s time for something new. I’m extremely proud of what I’ve put together here over the 5+ years, garnering mentions in Forbes, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The San Francisco Examiner, I think its fair to say GH has been a pioneer of art blogging. Thanks to all you who have read my ramblings with whatever regularity and especially to those who left comments. It’s been a great avenue to meeting others with a passion for photography.

But, while the blog is retiring, I am not. I’m starting over with a new effort, one that will be more expansive and intense than GH has been or the “concept” of “gallery hopping” allows. I’ve begun a new blog, Ocular Octopus.  It’s being updated regularly and will eventually contain a bookstore, a gallery directory and other featured content as new ideas arise.

Some recent posts you’ll find on the new site:

Check out the new site. If you like it, I’d invite you to:

Thanks again for making GH a great success. Here’s to another great run at Ocular Octopus!

    … and I had just got used to reading this one!

    Ocular Octopus looks good, so all the best with the new venture.

    Five years, is a long time, but looks like you had quite some impact on the community. Hope your new blog works out for you.
