New Photography

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Yeah so I tried to take a photo a day and failed miserable, with work, kids, and just a plan lack of time I failed to complete my goal of taking a photograph a day. I was disappointed in my lack of being able to complete my goal, but I still enjoy trying to take photographs.

Here are a couple of shots I took on a recent vacation to Oregon:

Daily Photo Project

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

So a few weeks back I was able to buy a new Nikon D200 with a 18-135mm lens, as part of my quest to be a better photographer I decided to start taking a photo a day.

Easy enough right? But I want to challenge myself and take a descent photo a day, or just maybe a unique photo.

Here are some of the photos I’ve taken so far. I’m posting them to www.flickr.com:

Brandon Proctor Photogaphy Website

We officially launched Brandon Procotor Photography’s website. We’ve been working on it for awhile and were able to get all the content and he was able to get all the photos he wanted together, so we pushed it live.

Brandon’s site uses the (E)2 Photo Gallery and some cool effects for the mouse overs using mootools javascript library.

What’s your Favorite? You tell me!

Favorite Photo Gallery Website

I’ve been working on my own flavor of a Site Showcase. I love websites that highlight or feature good web design or cool and upcoming technology for the world wide web. I also love photography and I love seeing web sites that showcase it, so I decieded to combine the two and create: Favorite Photo Gallery - a website dedicated to showcasing amazing photography.

Add to My Favorites

As part of the Favorite Photo Gallery site, I am using Wordpress to manage the site. One of the major components is the “Add to My Favorites” functionality. A wordpress plugin I created myself. I hope to release it as a wordpress plugin sometime soon, but I’ll need to tweak it a little cause it’s so customized to Favorite Photo Gallery.

Features of “Favorite Photo Gallery”

  • Add to My Favorites
  • Featured Gallery of the Month
  • Rate Each photo gallery
  • Commenting on Each Gallery

If you’re using the (E)2 Photo Gallery, I’d also be excited to see that, and who knows you might even get highlighted. (Not that I’d be biased to it at all). Or if you know of any sweet photo gallery site, with cool photography, Suggest a Site/Photo Gallery to be showcased on Favorite Photo Gallery

The New (e)2 Interactive

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

I’ve been working on updating e2interactive.com for at least six months. I finally was able to get it finished. I have a lot more to look at and some really cool downloads.

First off, check out the (E)2 Photo Gallery
(E)2 Photo Gallery
I’ve built a dynamic photo gallery using Mootools Javascript Library. The Gallery features: Smooth transitions between photos and photo sizes, 4 designs, thumbnails, and more.

I’ve updated my photography section (using (E)2 Photo Gallery) with new photos and some of my latest work. I’ve also updated my Design Portfolio with my latest work. I’ve created a Resources section of my site where I list some great links to helpful websites that I use in design, photogaphy, and HTML CSS developement.

Take a look around, and let me know what you think.
