I decided I really did need a place to highlight my photography other then this site, which is really for my academic life.

So, I’ve set up my photography site using Wootheme’s Aperture, and I plan on posting new photos as I take them which will point to my gallery. I might even blog a bit about the photos. Hopefully, too, I’ll try some experiments and blog about those as well.

Speaking of new: I ordered a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM for Heather’s wedding. I should be receiving it tomorrow. Yes, it was expensive, and I’m kicking myself for not having gotten it in May when it was $150 cheaper and included a $90 instant rebate. Dumb. Anyway, I’m excited about getting a new “L” lens, the last I’ll need for a while. More on this as I experiment. Stay tuned.

Finally, Autumn and I are thinking about setting up a studio in the house. More details as this develops.

I also moved it to my ISP, from Apple’s me.com. I wasn’t about to pay $100 a year for calendar syncing (which is all I used from MobileME). So, I had to get my grlucas.com domain off of their servers.

I’m using a free theme from WooThemes called Snapshot. I’m not 100% pleased with it, but it’s better than any other theme I’ve seen for photoblogs. I might try to tweek the colors to match my gallery. A says it looks too “boxy.” Still, I like like its functionality.

So stop by. Leave a comment.

I’m officially launching grlucas.com, my foray into the world of “professional” photography. I’m using Zenfolio for my online galleries and store.

“Why?” you ask? “You’re a competent amateur at best.” Yes, I know. My only defense is that it’s relatively inexpensive, no risk, and — hey! — it’s fun. I have no intention of leaving my day job. I believe that doing something only for money ruins it.

If I have any artistic bones in my body, they are composed of photography.

See my friend Giles’ gallery on Zenfolio.
