::Just Stuff::


Hi All!

I'm planning on re-doing a couple of pages of mine, and I'm looking for suggestions on good web gallery software. I wouldn't mind including some blog software, as well. I want something that looks professional, but is not too time-consuming to implement. The sites I'll be re-vamping are hosted by GoDaddy, so it'll need to be something their servers support. Has anyone had much experience with ZenPhoto or WordPress?

I really don't have much news to inject into this journal... I'm just glad it hasn't been years between journal entries like it has been in the past. :) Autumn has hit southeast Alaska with its usual force--lots of rain and wind. Still, with all the nastiness, there is beauty here during the breaks in the deluge--wonderful clouds, and everything is wet and clean! The days are growing short already, though, so my window of opportunity to shoot outdoors is a little smaller... Must be time for a little more studio work, huh?

I guess that's about all I have for this evening. Just finished up being in a community theater production of Wizard of Oz, which kept me thoroughly busy the past few weeks, so this week I'm mostly just kicking back and taking it easy, and making my plans for web page projects.

If you get a chance, pop by my dA portfolio. It's mostly the images I have here in my dA gallery, plus a few others. I'm always eager to hear comments on it... It's here

Ciao for now!

::Note To Fellow Alaskans::
It'd be nice to connect up with other photographers, artists, and models in my area for coffee, a coupla beers, or especially for some
collaborative work.

My thanks to ^l8 for the flag stamps!

Hello, Alex! I am tickled that you stopped by my gallery. Thank you so much for the kind comment. :) I promise a visit to your gallery... Have been there a number of times, but not lately. I'm a fan of your work, and look forward to seeing what's been posted since my last visit. It'll be this weekend before I can spend much time browsing---I'm in a local community theater production of The Wizard of Oz, which is keeping me busy this week, using up all my time after work until late at night... I will look forward to stopping by though--as I've said, I'm an admirer of your work...

Many thanks, again, Alex.

It is gorgeous here. I really need to get out to some of the more remote places around here. It's such a huge state, with great variety in geology and scenery. Guess I ought to befriend a couple of floatplane pilots and really exercise my shuter finger. What part of Alaska did you visit?
