It has been well over a year (maybe even 2) since I started thinking about dropping the domain newrecruit.
Why change now? newrecruit was a screen name I started using in 1997 for unknown reasons. Everything from email, instant messaging, logins, accounts and the domain for my personal website. It worked well for consistency but on the 10 year anniversary, it is time to change. It just doesn't make much sense (if ever) and I wanted something related to the site content.
I wanted something photo related and a quick look at Googles dictionary results in the following definitions.
- focused: position in which rays of light from a lens converge to form a sharp image.
- light: without which no image exists. without light there would be no form, color, or texture.
So my own quick definition would be that without focus, the world would be a blur and without light, there would be nothing to focus on.
Overall I think focused on light has a straight forward meaning but more importantly, it was one of a very few available domains after months of looking. (I still secretly want "PaintingWithLight")
