musings about life and what I'm up to
After some more filtering, developing, and writing, I’ve posted some more photos from the great African adventure.. Africa Photos.
In this latest update, I’ve covered our trip to Victoria Falls, our safari experience in Botswana, and our respite in Tanzania.
Still to come (shortly) are the photos from Rwanda and our day trip to London.
Enjoy!
Well, it’s taken me a month or so (then again, I’ve had a busy month…) to get through the Africa photos but I’m finally starting to post them online. I’ll trickle them onto the site over the next couple of days. Check here for the latest..
There have been a few reasons that it’s taken me a while to get these photos online.
First of all, I really have been busy, Hiking in the Sierra for a couple of days, moving Meghan into her new apartment, heading to the East Coast for a couple of weeks, and finally settling into San Francisco again.
Second, I’ve been exploring other ways to display my photos, including playing around with iMovie on the Mac (a product I’m pretty impressed with – it definitely has its limitations but it exceeds expectations for a free application) and other online sites. In this case, Flickr really has the stronghold on photo sharing.
Third, I am supposed to be looking for a job…
Anyway, if you want to check out the Africa Photos, check out the site over the coming days. And if you want to see the iMovie I put together, just ask. It’s a little long for an upload to Youtube, besides, the High-Res file is the way to see it.
On my other site, PicsFromTrips, I just created a new feature called Weekly Photo. I was able to do this by incorporating the WordPress blogging software onto the site. I’m really having fun with the capabilities of these blog software suites.
Initially I just thought of them as a way to post random diatribes like this one, but through actually researching and using them I’m starting to recognize their content management capabilities. They really make for an incredibly easy way to manage your own website.
So the idea behind the weekly photo is to have a way for me to showcase photographs from my catalog over the years.. I find that I don’t really poke through any of the old albums, so this is an exercise to force me to spend some time with my photos and also allows an opportunity to pick out specific photographs and provide some additional color.
We’ll see how well I keep up with this, but for now I really like the idea.
