Photo gallery has returned!

Friday, April 10th, 2020

After my hosting company updated PHP Gallery2 stopped working, but after a few hours of work which included downgrading PHP, upgrading Gallery2 and then upgrading PHP…… It’s back! A huge thank you to Greg Stoll for his fork of Gallery2.

Morning photos of the canal

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Since I work out of my house I’m not usually out in the morning before 8AM.  My wife was sick so I took one of the kids to school and had to take these shots of the power canal.  That is one of the two photos on my flickr account.

The remaining Jenna Haze photos from PGLAM have been posted into their own topless and nude albums. They will be password protected with a simple password just to keep people from unintentionally entering them.

Kasey’s Prom

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Kasey’s Prom was Saturday night so we took her and Nate to the parking lot at the entrance to the fish lab at the end of our street. I had them stand in the shaded area since the sun was so bright. I took some photos of the two of them and of just Kasey and Jen. Then Jen took a couple photos of just Kasey and me. We were kind of rushed since they had to go to other people’s houses and of course they all wanted to take photos too. I wish I had time to take more photos so I could get even better ones. With Jen’s help we picked out the best of them.

Gallery2 thumbnails

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

After upgrading to Gallery2 I didn’t like how the thumbnails were handled; people’s heads were cropped off in many of them. I figured I’d go back and fix it eventually. Well after working on Kasey’s Prom photos and her head being either cut in half or missing altogether in the thumbnail I decided it was time to figure out what was going on. I discovered it has to do with the square thumbnails plugin so I disabled it. Square thumbnails make the albums appear consistently in Gallery giving a clean and neat look , but who cares if they are neat if the image isn’t represented properly?

I do like the consistent clean look so I will revisit square thumbnails and see what options there are that may take care of the bad cropping.

Jenna Haze PGLAM clothed photos

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

It took longer than I planned, but I finally posted the clothed photos from the glamour workshop with Jenna Haze. I wanted to upgrade to Gallery2, change my website over to a blog format, and then get caught up on my 2008 photos. I will be posting the topless and nude photos in their own albums with some sort of password. As I stated in an earlier post this is to make it harder than just clicking to enter an adult oriented photo album.

Jeep Girls

While on my way to a customer’s site in Pittsfield I ended up behind this jeep.  The saying on the spare tire is great, you’ll have to click the photo to see it though.

Glamour Photography Workshop

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

I heard about a glamour photography workshop that was being held in Dayton, OH by PGLAM and the model was adult film star Jenna Haze! I’ve seen my share of glamour photo galleries on line and once I heard about this I just had to go. At the workshop I learned a few things about studio flash and how to work with a live model. All of this could be picked up by reading some glamour photography books, but learning it in person at a workshop was much more fun. At first I was a little nervous about taking photos of a live model, especially one that would be nude towards the end of the photo shoot, but Jenna was great to learn from. She was very funny and open, which shouldn’t be a surprise considering her line of work. I doubt I will be getting any studio flash equipment since photography is just a hobby for me, but it was a great experience and the knowledge I received will improve my posed photos.

Over the next few weeks I will be posting some of the photos from the workshop. There will be three separate galleries, the clothed photos, the topless photos and the nude photos. The last two will probably be password protected though. Not some crazy password, but something to make it harder to enter the gallery since I don’t think the gallery software I use has an age verification system.
