by Gavin Seim: In a few weeks I’ll be loading our the trailer as myself and my family will embark on a month long photo adventure. It’s like nothing I’ve ever done and I’m very excited. The final destination will be Twin Cities MN, where I’ll be teaching my HDR and LR workshops, but the trip itself will be all about photography. I intend to try new things, explore new places and push my skills a bit further.
With that in mind, plus the fact that I plan to embark on these sort of adventures more regularly, I’ve started a new site. Don’t worry, I’m not closing my other projects. But I’ve been planning for some time to make a site for my fine art work. I did that, but with a bit of a twist. Instead of just making another portfolio site, I did what I wanted to do. I made a travelogue and a journal. A book of notes if you will. It’s called f164.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy Pro Photo Show, Seim Effects, or my client blogs. But this is more like a diary where I can share what I learn, show what I’ve made and let me hair down (though my hair is not very long).
While on my trip and beyond there’s likely to be quite a bit of activity on 164. I hope you’ll join in and share our journey. Pro Photo Show will remain active, and some favorite posts from f164 may even make it over here. But if you want to see a bit more of the emblazoned adventurous photograoher, come on over to f164.
PS. On a side note, I’m pretty proud of the f164 site. I built it all in WordPress, using the Twenty Ten theme and a lot of CSS tweaking.





Welcome to f164. It’s been a long time coming and represents more than just a photo blog. It’s my fine art portfolio, but also the journal of my photographic travels, studies and experience. One of the first things you’ll notice are the giant images in posts. This site is all about photography and I decided to show it as best I could. Nothing beats a fine print in person, but that does not mean the internet has to show tiny pathetic images. This is a site, for which I have put design and beauty over commercial assets such as ads. This is my journal, my place to talk about what I learn, what I did right, what I did wrong, or anything in between.
