Interested in a better solution for selling photographs online, I decided to try integrating "Gallery2″:http://gallery.menalto.com/ and "ZenCart":http://www.zen-cart.com/ using "ZCG2″:http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gallery-contrib/zcg2/.
Don't bother.
I have never used ZenCart nor have I looked at its code, so I can really offer much comment there.
As "I've mentioned before":http://revjim.dreamhosters.com/articles/2005/11/02/gallery-v2-i-waited-for-this, Gallery2 isn't exactly the most exciting, flexible, or well written piece of software [...]

Did anyone else see the domain name "MarketingPilgrim":http://marketingpilgrim.com/ and wonder if this was another "Mark Pilgrim":http://diveintomark.com/ endeavor. For the record, it isn't. But that would have been a clever name.

Dear Flickr,
I am a paying customer and was an avid Flickr fan. I turned many people on to your service and sung the praises of the community you've built and the flexibility of your platform only to find that *my account has been marked with some magical flag that [...]

(Catchy Title Still Being Researched)
"Farris":http://gentlenews.com/ said it "better than I can":http://gentlenews.com/archives/2005/11/22/breaking-news-the-gentle-news-streamin-screamin-intarweb-show-debuts-tonight/ so I'm mostly just going to copy him.

A Portrait of Love

I don't usually bother to make note of the portraiture that I do that isn't at least a bit artsy or in some way of interest to those other than the people in the photograph. But I've decided to make an exception to that rule today.
The first reason for the exception is to give you, [...]

Sometimes I just can't decide what I want to see more, a beautiful landscape or a beautiful woman. So, today, you get both.

I took this image a few morning ago. The sun had just risen and the air was cold and dry. I just discovered this particular spot so, [...]

sleeping sun

( Enlarge | FOR SALE )

This sunset in Oklahoma was one of the most breathtaking I've ever seen. I'm not sure if it was because of the mountains or the clouds, or because it was shared with so many other people. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Model: Gloria (more…)
Session: 2005-11-10 Gloria (more…)

Your comments and criticisms are appreciated, as always. Feel free to comment on the individual images directly within Flickr (an account is free, if you don't already have one).
