I’ve been reading a lot about photography recently, both books and blogs. One of the blogs I’m really into is by Atlanta based photographer Zack Arias. He has started posting video critiques of aspiring photographers’ portfolio sites. Its really interesting to watch and hear what a professional looks for and the details they notice.

Over to Flickr
1 February 2008
I’ve finally decided to start using a photo hosting service, instead of using my own site. I do prefer the idea of keeping all my photos here, but in recent months I haven’t been able to find the time to build the features I want, such as tagging, comments, geo-coding, and uploading software.
I looked at both Google’s own PicasaWeb and Flickr. While I prefer Picasa for browsing photos I really like the over all aesthetics of Flickr, and the organizational tools. So I went with the latter and have started with my photos from Christmas in England.
Yosemite
11 September 2006
I’ve been working through my photo backlog and have got to our weekend camping and walking in Yosemite back in June. I think Glen, in particular, has very fond memories of climbing the 750 metres to the top of Yosemite Falls.
Because of the shear scale of the scenery, a lot of the detail is lost in the small photos :(
Lake Shasta
10 September 2006
I’ve finally uploaded the photos from July’s house boating trip.
A bunch of us spent 4 nights on a house boat; riding seadoos, wake boarding, driving speed boats, and having general water related fun.
Animales De Honduras
7 January 2006
For the last two summers I have worked in Honduras for a conservation project run by Operation Wallacea. While I was there the projects focused mainly on biodiversity studies, which meant that every day groups of scientists would go off into the forest looking for animals. Over the course of the projects I got the opportunity to see a menagerie of animal life ranging from gold beetles, to butterflies with transparent wings, to armour-plated snakes.
During the Christmas break I managed to put together a mini-site for some of my photos, I have only just got round to putting it online. So here it is:
Frisbee in Golden Gate Park
20 December 2005
A few weekends back — before it became cold and wet — we had a wicked day playing frisbee in the park. Tessa had her camera and took some cool photos, here’s one I like of me :)
