Photofolio

22 February 2010

This site was home to my photographs for many years, beginning while I was still shooting film cameras and scanning negatives, and going through my first Digital Ixus and onto the Canon 10D.

Coming relatively late to the party, I joined Flickr at the start of 2008 and haven’t looked back since. The thing that is most compelling for me is the social aspect, something that a personal photo site could never achieve. It pushes me to take more photos and to try to be more creative.

With this in mind I felt the photos left on this site were getting dated and unrepresentative; photos from university ski trips and my early travelings in China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Instead I’ve put together a portfolio of sorts.

So Flickr is my photostream, Picasa gets random albums for sharing with family and friends, and while I don’t feel I’ve found a particular style yet, this site gets my best attempt at a photographic portfolio.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

    hey, cool UI
    i’m curious: do you push them here manually or pull them using a tag, set, ..?

    I add “machine tags” to the photos I want to show up, pupius:type={$section}. I then use the Flickr API to grab the photos. I generate all the HTML on the server, it increases the download size but this was all done in Mexico City airport.
