The last two months, I have transitioned from my old TypePad blog to a new WordPress blog. I am still sentimental about my TypePad blog, but I wanted an application that would continue improving. With my new BryanFarleyPhotography WordPress blog, my images are sharper and my posts are easier to locate on the internet. While I have been learning WordPress, I have spent hours staring at widgets, plugins, themes, statistics, code, categories and so many other options that I wondered if I would ever solve my problems.
Then I saw photos from a makeshift wedding photo booth and it did not matter.
The bride and her friends gathered around a laptop and a makeshift photo booth. I photographed the women as they took photos of themselves. As we took photos, we all laughed. I have not stopped laughing. This simple photo booth application motivated me to solve my WordPress problems and my Facebook struggles.
SEE NOTE AT END!
Early this year I created a photography FaceBook page at Bryan-Farley-Photography Facebook. My old blog would not interact with my Facebook page the way I wanted. I could post by blog entrees to my photography Facebook page, but I would lose all my Facebook comments. Hopefully, my new blog will be more social so I can tag people and interact with all my friends.
At least if my new Facebook social plugin does not work, I can watch the photo booth gallery.

Note: I am editing one year later. It seems that my images are not easier to find on google if I do not insert them correctly. The slideshow also do not really help people find me. But I like the slidshows, so I still create them.
These are awesome, Bryan!!! We had so much fun with you — thank you for capturing these moments!
I had a blast. Thanks for bringing me along. New friends and life long memories.
Can't wait for our next wedding! We really had a great time, and you directed a great wedding.
Happy Anniversary Courtney Maksimowicz and Nick Maksimowicz!! I have been reviewing all your photos during the last day and just re-posted this blog with the photo booth pictures of Kris Angelis, Alix Angelis Jovanna Rosen and… well, Lauren Battey will help me fill in the names! Such a great time.
aww I love this!
Thanks Jovanna Rosen. Two days ago, I started editing a few photos, and I now I have looked at every photo too many times. I also opened the Kris&Alix page and I am now listening to Chase Me repeatedly… just as I did a year ago when I began editing photos. I wish Courtney Maksimowicz would get married every weekend
