Exciting changes are coming over the next few days. I am rolling out a new web site look and a new homepage that will feature a combination of latest news - projects I am currently working on, upcoming photo exhibits, and so on - as well as a photo blog - stories of interesting shoots and projects with small embedded photos. Clicking on those photo thumbnails would take you to full-sized photo galleries. Switching to the new web app for news and a photo blog will allow me to keep content regularly updated much easier and faster. Thus, I will be adding new entries every week and write short stories with photos, something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time.

The website look will change to a light grey color base, as opposed to the dominating black color. Splashes of color will highlight new features and new and time-sensitive content.

And all of this is possible thanks to free open-source web apps. The three main ones powering  this website are Joomla, which is the framework of this site, Gallery 2, which powers the photo galleries, and WordPress - one of the best blogging tools that I will use for the news and photo stories section.

If you’d like to let me know what you like and dislike about the new site design, feel free to leave a comment below.
