Tales of Seven

San Francisco Evening

Just a sliver of dusk-inspired light shows behind a bank of incoming fog.

Foggy Glow

The fog rolls in at night picking up city lights and weaving them into a soft, glowing blanket.

Thursday

The fog is thick and glows orange from city lights.

A glass of wine...the roofdeck...some camera play.

Not a Creature Was Stirring...

Photography Site: Take II

The search for a photography website builder continues!

Following my initial trial of SiteWelder, I just finished review of another option called FolioLink. Upsides are great templates and more sophisticated image customization options (sizing, thumbnail choices, etc) than SiteWelder.

Downsides are no ability to offer framed work in a way that fits logically in the site, a slightly rough administrative interface that requires a lot of clicking back and forth to create and preview pages, and the need to shrink file sizes before uploading images. More experiments to follow!

Bedtime

This one brought a smile to my face --- just had to share.

 

Photography Site

I'm in the process of experimenting with photography site builders that allow display and sale of art and my first attempt was made using a tool called SiteWelder. Using the demo version, I found it offers professional layouts, is easy-to-use and supports sales through PayPal with little additional effort. On the downside, it's difficult to show framing options, and the layouts, though professional, appear limited.

I'll be trying out at least a couple of additional options to see what works best and hope to have a basic starter-site up soon! Believing that art is more meaningful 'in context', I hope to offer photographs accompanied by short stories about each image.
