A few tweaks

Before I dive into a whole blog theme re-design. I thought I would get my feet wet by tweaking what I have now. So now, no “proudly presented by WordPress” in the footer, and search results/archives give you full articles instead of excerpts.

A few notes

Things I learned recently while taking photos and working on them in Aperture: Taking landspcape shots from a high view point usually doesn’t work out. It tends to fore-shorten tall majestic things, making pics look pretty uninteresting. Subjects that are level with you, or above you seem to work better. Actually, looking too far upwards […]

Ordered the Avant Prime
