Here’s a question for you. How often do those of you who drop by this site view my flickr site as well? If not too often, I’d prefer to start posting most of the images here on a regular basis, as many of my photos never make it to the blog to avoid redundancy. I also have tried to keep most of the photos on this blog on topic with Indonesia rather than posting my “other” types of photography. WouldRead more

Selling Photos Online
I’m looking into selling more of my prints online, via something like Smugmug.com. Has anyone had experience with their services? I’ve done quite a bit of research, and they seem to offer some of the best printing services in terms of quality and finish – something I prioritize highly. For about $100 a year, they allow unlimited uploads, the ability to set your own prices, as well as handling the orders, payment, and shipping of photos. Sounds pretty good toRead more
