The Evolution of Lo-Fi Saint Louis

Fright!You may have noticed that there are big changes afoot here at Lo-Fi Saint Louis and I figured that it was high time to let you in on some of the details of what to expect from this space in the coming months. I've redesigned the site in such a way that it can now funciton as a forum for a lot more than video content. Of course the video episodes of Lo-Fi Saint Louis will always be front and center, but I've been itching to expand into some other forms of content as well, like photography, audio and just good old text. So you'll notice that this new layout will serve this purpose well. With all the video front and center and a nice cozy blog that will sit right beside it all. The main inspiration of this has been my recent foray into still photography, and my growing interest in how photographs can be a compelling way to tell a story. I know that photojournalism is a fairly old and well established profession, but my interest in it is new and I toyed with the idea of starting a separate photo blog, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it would just make sense to expand lofistl.com. And then I thought, as long as I was at it, why not just start blogging in a more regular way too? So that's what you will start to see in this space on a more frequent basis. So, that, in a nutshell (albeit a rambling nutshell) is what you should start to see here in the coming weeks.I also have another thing to tell you about what I'm doing here. I've recruited a couple of other people from around town to also blog here from time to time. I don't want to say exactly who these people are yet. But you'll find out in good time. So at some point Lo-Fi Saint Louis will cease to be (pretty much) a one man operation.So thats it. Thats the big news. I wanted to throw a big party again this fall to launch the fall season of videos here, but time just got away from me. But watch for some kind of bug shin-dig next spring to celebrate four years of this mess ... such as it is.Season 4 of regular episodes of Lo-Fi Saint Louis will start this week, and continue until the end of November, and regular photo, audio and text posts will commence shortly. So subscribe via email or rss if you haven't yet to keep up with all this crap.Thank you and good night,Bill Streeter
