photos.ajk.im

I started a photo blog over at photos.ajk.im. I also put a link to it in the menu. For now, it’s just a simple interface to view photos that I’ve chosen as some of my best. You can also view some simple metadata about the photos. There is also a possibility to “Like” the photos via the heart icon, and I intend to add commenting some day.

flickr integration would be great too — I would like to have the same photos over at the photo blog and on flickr.

Slight Realignment

This is a sort of an announcement: I realigned the website today a bit, removed the frontpage, added a link to my photo blog and did some graphical adjustments.

Personally, the site now feels more minimalistic and IMO gets right to the point: blog posts :)

Awesome Gallery

Awesome Gallery1 is an extremely simple and stylish photo gallery created with PHP. It consists of one single file and does not require database. It’s easy to set-up and fairly easy to use. That being said, the feature list is scarse and it certainly won’t cook you dinner. It will just show photos in a nice way.

Awesome Gallery was created as my personal photo gallery (since I started photography as a hobby). But since I feel it is so awesome I will probably release it someday for free. For now, feedback is most welcome and if you find anything weird, feel free to comment here or send me email or anything! All help is greatly appreciated! The software is still in constant development.

You can see it running my personal photo gallery.

Awesome features:

  • Single PHP file
  • Generates thumbnails when you view them
  • File and directory -based
  • Cool transitions
  • No JavaScript -accessible
  1. Name may change

Flickr: A New Photo Experience

Noticed this today when checking my stats. Bigger photos, clearer navigation, smooth buttons. EXIF info is now in the top left corner, so that took a few seconds. Flickr is one of the sites I always visit when starting a new web design. The design is that good.
