And Then It Was Over: Shoot! Takes its Final Bow.

Ok, so this picture is a metaphor of-sorts. You see, those are beautiful balloons. And we had a wonderful New Year’s. But eventually the balloons floated to the floor. And then the cats ate them.

And it’s with this bit of knowledge that I sadly depart as stewardess of Shoot! The Blog. You know what? We had a great flight. I bothered you six hundred and sixty four times with photography missives. Because photography is awesome, and photographers are too.

And because I have loved this journey SO much, I’ve spent all morning setting up a new blog, that I will write in very much the guise of STB. So come on over! Ignore the ugly design– we’re just getting going.

I don’t know what to call it yet, but there are sure to be peanuts. Please drop me a line here with all your newses and pictures. I look forward to it.

All my love to you, my readers.

Your humble stewardess,

Rachel

Sucks, Rachel. Flat out sucks. But I can’t wait to read your new blog!

I will miss this and be at your new blog daily.

Thanks for the great work on this blog. I’ll adjust my bookmark and start each day with a visit to the new blog. Keep up the excellent work.

Not Brooks 9-11-2008

This sucks. Yours was one of the very few good photography but not photoblogs out there. I learned a ton from reading you and I’ll be a regular reader of your new blog for sure.

Dave 9-11-2008

When I heard the news about the closing of PSC I was afraid your blog would go with it. As previously noted: THIS SUCKS. But I’m very glad you’ll be continuing to blog about photography. I’ll update my bookmark right now.

Micah Walter 9-11-2008

Rachel, I am really going to miss Shoot! The Blog. It has been my morning coffee for a while now! Please keep up the great work and witty-ness that I have really come to enjoy day after day! Best of luck… -micah How about “Shoot! The Execs” ?

Emerson 9-11-2008

I’ve changed my bookmark! See you there

William 9-11-2008

Angie 9-11-2008

That’s such a shame – this was a fabulous blog, and it was a daily read for me. But I’ll be sure to pick up your new one!

deep is the pain, deeper is the joy. (Nietzsche) You rock, JC

GeorgeKaplan 9-11-2008

you’ve done a sterling job Rachel. Great blog. Adjusting my bookmarks now.

lee 9-11-2008

i’ve never commented before since i usually read this blog through Google Reader. you’ve brought my attention to many worthy images and artists that i might not have found otherwise in the time that i’ve been viewing. i just want to say “thank you”.

s. 9-11-2008

this blog has been wonderful. i read it daily. you’re postings have referenced so much good and interesting photography and photographers. i will no doubt be switching over to the new one.

Ian Aleksander Adams 9-11-2008

Rachel, I’ll be updating my reader with your new blog. I was wondering, will the posts from Shoot! be saved anywhere? Archived? It would be a shame to lose a lot of the stuff you collected, I’ve got a few bookmarked and stumbled. Best of luck in the future of course! -Ian

Cam 9-11-2008

Booo!

Jordan 9-11-2008

I was a huge fan of Shoot! and am deeply upset that it is now gone. Rachel, I am thankful that you will continue to share your talent for writing about photography with intelligence, wit, and charm with us on your new blog. See you there.

David Hobby 9-12-2008

Dear Rachel- I look at far, far too many blogs in the course of my week. Many of them are company-based blogs, and that is usually not a great thing. Corporate culture and blogging do not necessarily mix. But the PSC folks are a special culture, and you are a wonderful blogger. I have never seen a company-associated blog better than this one, in any industry. You somehow managed to be both a great face for PSC and to nurture a fresh, insightful personal style at the same time. When you have had sufficient time to populate your new blog enough to show new visitors just how surf-worthy your posts are, I will be honored to include you on my blogroll. Yours truly, David Hobby Strobist.com

see you over at the new bar.
