about euphorochrome
Greetings from Portland, Oregon. After being inspired by many of the great photoblogs that have been cropping up lately, I decided a photoblog of my own was just what I needed to kick-start my crusty photography habit. Places like chromasia.com, greyscalegorilla, and daily dose of imagery are well worth the visit. Or browse hundreds at photoblogs.org. Initially, I tried to keep up with a photo per day schedule, but now I post whenever I catch a shot that I like. I hope this will be a productive exercise for my photography as well as my web skills. Enjoy!

A big thank you goes out to David J. Nightingale, creator of chromasia.com. He graciously allowed me to use his layout/css as a jumping off point. Many of the decisions he made with chromasia were right on! Clean and simple. Anything else just gets in the way of the photos. I have since moved away to a totally new design from scratch, but I owe David kudos for letting me learn from his CSS implementation.
technical crap
My current main system is a Macbook. I also do all my photo work and some development on a 2.8Ghz AMD Sempron system running Debian Linux. I just replaced the old system that recently keeled over.
This site was entirely hand written in XHTML/CSS, PHP, and mySQL. I am constantly updating and tweaking things as I find places that can be improved. Please let me know if you find any problems and I will try to remedy them.
equipment
When I first entered the digital camera age, I used a Olympus 2000-Z. A great little camera, but these days it just doesn't cut the mustard. Lately, I've acquired a Nikon D70. Using an SLR again after so long (it's been almost 20 years!) is a great feeling. I process RAW images using the GIMP on my Linux machine. Usually, I only make slight alterations to curves, and then, if I like it, some unsharp mask on the websized image. Other alterations I will note in the particular photo's notes.
