Website Update
The website update has been a work in progress, so don’t be surprised if things look a bit differently than before. Ann’s still adjusting things and I think still has a few things to turn on. Nothing to worry about. The changes are mostly cosmetic with the general structure pretty much the same. Ann, however, is still working with Claude and Joe to better organize the “Ann’s Photos” section, so that’s still very much a work in progress.
Hopefully this post will give you a roadmap for where to look for our newly uploaded images. On the top menu bar you should see a “Journals” link. It will take you to a new section Ann has included that provides a broad visual account of the year. Click on the link and you’ll find links to Ann’s 2025 journal and my 2025 journal.
The journals are supposed to be much more casual in nature and you’re more likely to see photographs of actual people (or chickens or Brandon peeing in an outdoor urinal . . . ok, acting like he’s peeing) in the journal pages than anywhere else on the website.
Remember, if you want to look at the images larger, click on one and that takes you to a larger version of the photograph and you can continue scrolling through that gallery of images using the left or right arrows, or click the “X” in the upper right corner to get back to the grid view. Oh, and my apologies, Ann was very good about identifying where each her images was taken. Not me. Sorry.
The next stop on the very top menu bar should be the Trips heading. That will take you to the pages for our main photography trips during the year. Here, the links to the trips include Ann and Dan’s combined images from each trip. Hopefully, they give you a sense about how each of these places felt while we were there.
The updates include our 2025 Iceland trip . . .
. . . and our 2025 USA trip.
Next we’re on to my photographs. You can get to them by clicking on “Dan’s Photos” on the top menu bar. If you click on the Annual Portfolio’s button from the Dan’s Photos page, you’ll be able to click on the 2025 “view” button to get to a collection of my images for the year. At the bottom of my 2025 images page if you haven’t had enough you can click on the “more” button to see even more of my 2025 images.
If you’re feeling like you’d like to get more specific in what you’d like to see, on the “Dan’s Photos” page you can click on the “Europe” button and then scroll down to “Iceland” and click there to get to a bunch of my Iceland images. Again, if you get to the bottom of that page and want to see even more images, you can click the “View more” button to get to even more images.
If you don’t want to see Iceland, on the Dan’s Photos page you can go to the United States link . Here, you won’t get just 2025 images. But if you want, you can go to the “Death Valley” link, where I’ve put a few of the 2025 images into my Death Valley Gallery.
Or in the USA galleries, you can go to the “Sierra Mountains - California Desert” link where I’ve put some of the images made last year in the Alabama Hills and Joshua Tree National Park.
Also, I’ve included a few images in the “Themes” link in Dan’s Photos under the link for “Compositions.” You know I couldn’t leave that page untouched.
And last but not least, under Dan’s Photos, I’ve put a few 2025 images into the “Favorites” link.
As I mentioned above, Ann is re-working the organization of not only her Lightroom catalog structure, but also how she will present her images on the website. All you have to do to confirm that is to go to the “Ann’s Photos” link at the top menu bar. Go there an you’ll only see two links - “Favorites” and “Arid Lands.” Fortunately, Ann has added select images from 2025 into each of those categories. Check them out, she has lots of wonderful images from past years in each of them for you to enjoy.
So that’s it for now. There’s plenty of new images for folks to check out on the website.
Now to start making some new images! It’s been too long.
