Well, I finally got around to putting up my photography. With the flood of client work, this sort of non-profit work gets put on the backburner until I do some major updates to my website. The good news is that Daily Venture, my travel photography website, is almost complete. Yeah, there are some paginas incompletas and I'm sure you're wondering why I haven't put up those stunning panoramic views from Olomana peaks yet, but I've been too busy getting your project done, see?
Photos are available in standard desktop wallpaper and background sizes.
Daily Venture.com : Free High-Resolution Travel Photos
I've been kicking around the idea to develop a website for my photography for several years, but it's a very daunting task. Undoubtedly many of you have taken to compiling all of your photos, labeling them and putting them into a system where you can retrieve and view them easily. If you have negatives then you have to get them all scanned, color-corrected and cleaned up. Usually every single photo needs some kinda special treatment to get it right, sometimes even laborious editing to remove an inconvenient object in the shot.
I had thousands of photos. It took a few months to select which photos would be used, then carefully scan and fix them all. Since my intention was to create a website where all the photos could be downloaded freely and shared, I wanted to host several different high-resolution versions of each photo so that people could use them as wallpapers or in their own projects. Once they were all scanned I needed to create a truckload of pages where they could be viewed easily. And of course every page required that I write something about the photos because I had allocated a column to text and it would look weird and imbalanced if one side was stuffed with photos and there was a few lines of copy and a huge blank space. Creating the pages took another couple months. What an ordeal! Anyway...
There are 85 pages and 475 photos currently up at Daily Venture. Most images are available in standard desktop wallpaper sizes up to 1600 x 1200. Here are a few highlights.

So, the site's about done but it's a work-in-progress because I'm always taking more photos and having more adventures that I need to add. At least now all new photographs are digital, which does simplify the process a bit.
The photo at the top of this page was taken from Plage des Ondes, on Cap d'Antibes on the French Riviera. Across the bay is Juan de Pins and Cannes is just around the corner.
