Busy busy busy

Well as you have probably noticed, I am finally trying to get all of this stuff going.  A lot has been happening over the last two weeks while I am on half day schedule.  First you may have noticed that this page is no longer http://photosbygi.blogspot.com/ but is now www.PhotosByGI.com.  Same website, just decided to get my domain registered to make it easier for people to find me.

Secondly, I have created a page for me on Facebook.  I have always had my personal page but wanted something I could show off for photography.  Check it out, log on, and add me as a friend.  You can find my page by clicking here.

Finally, I wanted a site where I could host all of my finished photos where anyone could view them and let me know what they thought.  I had originally wanted to lean towards something like Zenfolio.com but just couldn't justify the $100 a year that they want.  True it is a complete package that allows you to sell your photos and everything (and lets face it, even though this is just a hobby, making a little cash off of it would be great), right now I just couldn't justify the cost.  After that I was debating between Picasa hosted by Google and Flickr hosted by Yahoo.  Both are good services and very similar to each other.  I was really leaning towards Picasa because my blog, email, calendar and everything else is integrated with Google, I figured my photos should be too, but in the end I went with Flickr.  I will be posting web proofs of all of my finished stuff here as its done (you can still find plenty of pictures on my blog too).  On the off chance anyone loves a photo and would like to buy a copy, let me know and we can work something out.  You can find my Flickr page here.  I am going back through my older posts and adding links to the full sets under the preview pics.

Enjoy,

Troy
