My Fine Art Photography Web Site

It’s alive!* http://www.BBPPhoto.com # My new fine art photography web site is up and working. I’ve got one more tweak to do, and then I’m all set! It’s running some special stuff. Basically I’m using a back end photogallery web application that provides an RSS feed, then using the RSS feeds to fill the front end with the data that I’m showing. It may take a few minutes for DNS to finish propigating. So, if it doesn’t load, check again later this morning...

Night and Low Light Colour Photography

I’ve shot about 6 rolls of film, and by far, these last two are the best I’ve picked up yet. These are just scans of the negatives, I haven’t had a chance to print them yet, so we’ll see how that goes. The one on my left is my favourite I think. The scan doesn’t really do justice to the colour of the sky, but its this wonderful royal blue. When I shot this negative, it was about an 8 minute...

Welcome!

As I think every other blogger has mentioned, there is always a first post, and its usually pretty lame. So here’s mine. I’m a tester on the web designer surface of VisualStudio. I’ve been at Microsoft for about 3 years now, and have been on this team the entire time. We’re working on some awesome stuff, and want to hear what you think about it. I also own the Designer Smart Tasks that pop up next to a number of controls when they are dropped on the page. They’re a great way to get stuff done quickly and...
