Inspiration and Moving to New Project

I have been on a hiatus from this blog but I have been working and writing and creating new media content.

If you would like to follow along this year, you are welcome to check out number 365.   It is a blog experiment for me but people seem to enjoy it and you might like it too.

If you would like to hear me talking or would like to watch one of my videos, you're welcome to go to Sofiamedia.  The videos on this channel will be changing.  I will be moving my vlogging elsewhere and let the channel focus on travel, reviews and tutorials.

If you would like to check out my current work projects, please feel free to wander over to camerabag where I am documenting the development of a European camerabag company.  This is an interesting project for me because I worked as a journalist/photographer and now videographer which means that I am always carrying one or two video cameras and one or two still cameras.   Unfortunately, I am usually using my Tumi (Aweseome bag see it below!) to carry all of this stuff because it fits and I only have to carry one bag around town.

Because I love my Tumi Bag, I don't want to use it ALL the time.  I would like to interchange it with a few other bags just as nice.  Unfortunately, bags just are not made for this.  Most of the photography bags are made for photographers not new media people or women who love upscale bags.

I met Lia Edwards,  my partner for this project at a creative meetup.  She is a professional photographer and designer who also  has a desire for a fashionable high quality bags she can use for work.   Both of us travel to work using public transport so we tend to carry tech equipment through the city.   Although we love our work, both of us tend to have very heavy bags which never seem to get lighter.

Although we live in the city, our work can be anywhere so we are designing a collection of bags that are rugged and beautiful and meet the needs of photographers who love good design.


When I'm not sitting at a table working on the camerab.ag project, I'm working on Sofia Says which you can visit here.

Sofia Says, which was the name of the blog you are reading, was born out of my retired Smeevee project which focused on collaborative learning (and based in Asia).

Now that I am living full time in Europe, I decided to move my company here and create Sofia Says which is an internet site focused on filling space.

I still think Smeevee is a cool idea but will be putting it back on the shelf while I focus on Sofia Says and the Camerabag project.

Thank you fro reading this blog and I hope to see you at my other blog locations.

Cheers,
