This photograph of mine was recently selected for an Ann Sacks national print ad. Besides getting some national photography exposure, my wife, a very talented photographer in her own right, is also the model. Even better, her (very fine) rump is featured prominently.

When I was informed that Ann Sacks had chosen the photo comp as one of three finalists I surmised they had done so just so they could feel edgy. I didn’t give it much chance being the victor. I was glad to been proven wrong, and was pleasantly surprised by their large cojones.

Ann Sacks: top shelf tile. My wife: top shelf arse! An advertising duo to be reckoned with!

Over the last couple of years my addiction to taking pictures every day has grown in intensity. More recently this addiction has heightened my curiosity to a point of seriousity. You do realize that seriousity should have inclusion confirmation from Merriam-Webster. If truthiness can make in, seriousity should. Seriously. Ok, back to the point. I’m getting more serious about photography. I even purchased a serious camera. Along with this serious camera, and an overabundance of seriousity about it’s use, I’ve gone and constructed myself a website dedicated to my photography. It is my hope that this will inspire and urge potential clients to contact me about my services.

The concept of the site is to take as much distraction out of the interface as possible to allow all focus on the content, the photography. I decided the entire site could be controlled by a small non intrusive control. I also wanted users to be able to interact with the photography by zoom and panning. Users also have the option to zoom out to see the full photo. Finally, I wanted a super easy way to content manage the site. Since I’m an avid Flickr user, its API was a natural CMS choice. I merely have to tag my photos in Flickr and they show up categorized on my site. I’m a big fan of leveraging the many publishing outlets I already use.

If you are a photographer, and are interested in owning a site similar to this one, chirp me.

FLICKR CONTROLLED PHOTOGRAPHY WEBSITE, originally uploaded by NymphoBrainiac.

Are you a Flickr member?

Are you an aspiring photographer?

Are those two synonymous?

Do you want your own photography website that you can control via Flickr simply by using tags?

Do you have your own website but find yourself duplicating your efforts by having to update it as well as Flickr?

Are you getting sick of these questions? me too, let’s cut to it…
