Photos Everywhere

Remember when photographs involved more than just taking a picture? When you had to send rolls of film to get developed? Or at least shake wait for the polaroid to develop. (Maybe coax it with some shaking?)

Now we can take photos to our hearts content and host them online. Most of the time and cost have become negligible per print.

I'll be honest, I like to just walk down the street and just randomly press the button on my camera. I don't set-up the shot, focus on an object or wait for the perfect moment. I just take photos and then look at them and delete the ones I don't like. And this is what you'll find in the links to my photo section, random digital images that I thought worth uploading. Some have been tweaked with Adobe Photoshop, some are untouched. There are even a few cell phone photos.

Flickr and Picasa

There's no need to host photos on this site. Flickr and Picasa make it easier to host on their site than on my own. What I've decided to do is to link directly to the sites so you can see the photos I've taken. At least this way I can tag them and offer them in different sizes and show as many as I like. I might have some of my favorites on these pages, but there will be more on Flickr and Picasa. I also plan on taking all of those old photos (the kind that come with negatives) and scan and upload them to these sites.

Tumblr

Yes, I jumped on the photo a day bandwagon in 2010. Instead of one of the hosting sites, I decided to try Tumblr. Why? I wanted to see how easy it was to create a tumblr site. And it is the easiest publishing tool I've ever used. The web interface is intuitive and posting photos takes no time. There's also an iPhone app so I can post on the go. It's not a true 365 photos project as I don't upload every day, sometimes I'll load a week's worth of photos at a time.
