RE-Introduction :: Hello, I'm Winston Wolfe.

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

I started looking at the contents of my blog from the past few months, and I have a lot of photos... but that's about it. I've been rather impersonal on here for a while. Not really saying much, just posting pictures. I got to looking at my stats, at my voting power which is at 100% currently, and my lack of comments on posts from others, and figured it was time for a re-introduction.

Hi there. I'm Winston Wolfe.

I've been on Steemit since July of 2016, so I was here whenever the spike of over $4 per Steem happened not long after it went public. This place has inspired me to do things I may never have otherwise done.

For example, within a couple of weeks of joining, I and 3 of my closest friends who I convinced to come here - @giftedgaia, @sykochica, & @quantumanomaly - joined forces to create the Steemit Talk Podcast. In no other time in my life have I ever even considered starting a podcast. This podcast ran weekly (or as close to weekly as we could) from July 30, 2016 until July 8, 2017 with a total of 43 episodes.

The full archive can be found at
Mixcloud.com/SteemitTalkPodcast.



Steemit also inspired me to take up a daily photo project.

No, let me correct that statement: It inspired me to take up FIVE daily photo projects.

  • The Daily 35mm Film Project
  • The Daily Polaroid
  • The Daily Panoramic
  • The Daily Party Pic Album
  • The Daily Elephant

And of course, I also have my Digital Wet Plate Photography series, which I'm particularly proud of, and hope to turn into a daily venture very soon.

However, the month of September fed me a huge, bitter dose of life so I've been taking it easy. I do plan on eventually getting all 5 of those projects going again, but I may need to ramp it up slowly, rather than go full blast right away. In either case, you can expect to see all these projects return.



I like doing other artsy stuff outside of photography every now and then. I'm not eyeballs deep in it, but it's fun to do periodically. :)

I was also a rave/club DJ for 10 years between 2002 and 2012. During that time, I distributed 12 mixes I considered "release worthy".

Some of my mixes can be found at mixcloud.com/dj-spiral



Above almost all else, I'm a camera nut, which given the stuff above might not be that surprising, but I've got over 20 years experience with cameras of almost all types starting with over 2 years of full-time retail camera sales. I can talk about cameras for days. If you need help buying a new camera, I'm great at helping you narrow it down your best 3 options.

In addition, I and my fiance own a local, full-time photography business that specializes in family portraits, high school senior portraits, children, couples, etc. We did weddings pretty heavily these past 5 years, but we've recently decided to take a break from that and concentrate on portraits and products for a change. As such, you'll likely see more of our professional work as we take on more clients.

Beyond that, you'll find I love posting pics of my son. He's the only one I've got and I'm totally that dad who would post tons of pics of his son. lol



Thanks for checking out my re-intro post. I hope this is a good refresher for the OG's on Steemit, as well as a decent enough "hello" to the noobs. I know there are a lot of new users now, and I hope to see you all around in the coming days/weeks/months as I do my best to increase my presence around here.

Great to have you even more commited to Steemit!

Let us grow the community and ourselves together.

God Speed Brethren.

Welcome back @winstonwolfe ! Can't wait to read more from you :)

Nice to re meet you. I have been listening to the steemit podcast to get the hang of things here and some background. I can only find a few on soundcloud though? This really is the place to be. Thanks

Good call, I edited the post and added the link to where our archives went.
I meant to put that in there the first time. ;-)

Great thanks. It has been really good hearing how steemit has developed over time.

Nice to meet you @winstonwolfe and thank you for your such a good write up.Please pray for me i want to write about people voice and emotion.

Hello, Winston, nice to meet you... again :)

Nice introduction dude and nice to meet you.

Great photos and wacom sketches. I look forward to seeing more.

Hello there @winstonwolfe, it seems you and I joined this community of steem in the same month ! So its nice to see that you are still here and asserting yourself and what you do here ) steem On !!

Somehow I've missed your posts, probably because of time zones. And I miss sykochica)

Your photography is haunting in a good way if that makes any sense at all.

Congratulations because you have been involved in so many projects. You deserve all our support

Glad to see you starting to write more on top of your photography, can’t wait to see more.

Very nice intro! I hope the dose of life stuff you experienced recently gets better.

I sorry to hear life has thrown you a curveball but it is great for the old times of Steemit to do a fresh introduce myself post. Especially since we have had many new people join us in the past months.

I gotta say I really miss STP. Hopefully it makes a comeback. Life trumps all else, so I get it. I have a 1yo baby daughter, and have not been able to get out to take pictures much lately. Life trumps everything. :) Here's hoping life is getting better for you. Cheers!

Pleasure meeting you winston..love the sketches my friend..really great stuff...i hope you enjoy my infrared photos i posted on one of my articles...cheers

I love your re-introduction. You are a master of projects and I love the details. Keep on being a go-getter and set more paces as you achieve more dreams, goals, and projects. In all, welcome back to Steemit @winstonwolfe. Also, I love your photos.

Nice to see more of your work.

I tried doing that, but I couldn't stay gone from FB for long.
Everyone here is a stranger. Family + friends = Facebook.

My first recommendation would be to avoid replying in someone's post with nothing relevant to say about it while trying only to garner attention for your OWN posts.

thanks, sorry.. good post.

welcome here winston

Love the cat picture! Welcome to the community, I am new as well and hoping to interact with lots of new people!

welcome my friend. I hope you succeed!

Sorry to read of your loss. Events like that can paralyse us, but they can also ignite in us a determination to do more, be more and to live more. I hope the dawn of a new day brought some extra light into your life and the love for your son radiates from that last image.

As a noob, I am glad that you took the time to re-introduce yourself, as I will follow your posts with genuine interest.
