Basis of the Blog

This blog is an extension of Candid Captures. The intent, depending on the day, may be one of several different things. There will likely be entries directly related to a specific event that I was hired for, yet, there may be many entries just related to my personal photography or the equipment I use.

Hopefully there may be something here of interest to you and will peak your interest to check back every once in a while.

A little plug for Phanfare


In the spirit of wanting to add stuff to this blog every couple of days and making sure it is somewhat useful information, today I figured I'd share with you one of a handful of services I use.

The service is Phanfare, a hosting service for both your photo's and video. I know, there are a ton of photo sharing sites in existence, some even do video. There's Picasa Web, Flickr and a several others, but trust me, i have tried them all and use multiple. But todays focus on my favorite, Phanfare.

Why?

Well first, because it does actually cost money to use. That's right, I actually pay to use it. Image that. But trust me, the modest annual fee is worth every penny.

What does Phanfare provide? A few things:
  • unlimited hosting of your pictures and video
  • no ads
  • sharing
  • a awesome application to mange your photos from anywhere and any computer (even if yours crashes)
  • probably what is the best slideshow interfaces of any site i know
  • applications that integrate into Facebook and Lightroom 2
  • and the list goes one....

Not only is it real easy for me to post & mange pictures, it incredibly easy to share with others.

Ok, rather than me go on and on, check it out for your self at www.phanfare.com. If you would like to see some of the shots I have up there, click here.

BTW, I realize that this picture posted with this entry has nothing to do with Phanfare other than the fact that it is posted there as well. But after all, it is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so that's good enough reason. Right?
