Although I like the WordPress blog engine, I’m not 100% thrilled with how it handles photos. It’s great for a pic here and there, with text around it, but if you’re just trying to show a bunch of pictures, I’m not sure it’s the best option. Granted, I may just not know what I’m doing. So in order to share the images I have captured and will capture, I decided to join the SmugMug 14-day trial.

So far, I’m really liking the interface and how it displays the photos. I’ll most likely be signing up for a full account soon (probably after I finish posting this). So if you want to see more pics from ComicCon 2010, be sure to go to http://technorogue3825.smugmug.com for your viewing pleasure. I’ll be posting more pics of ComicCon 2010 soon, too! Enjoy and thank you.

One of my more recent interests has been photography. I’ve always liked it, but I am now really getting into it thanks to a wedding I helped shoot with my girlfriend (you can follow her at www.fotozenphotography.com, and @fotozen). I didn’t think I would have so much fun spending 9 hours taking pictures, but it was a great experience! So a few days after the wedding, I went out and bought a better camera since I wanted more control over various settings. So I picked up a Nikon D3000 for just under $500. Great price, great camera.

I’ve been learning the camera more, as well as general photography. As we all know, practice makes perfect, so I’ve been taking pictures as frequently as I can. One way to help me with that is the 365project.org site, where you post a picture every day. This allows you to not only see 1 year of your life in picture review, but you’ll also get more practice taking pictures, and see how your skills and talents have progressed over a year. I’m only 10+ days into it, but so far, so good. You can follow my picture progress at www.365project.org/technorogue3825.
