New home for photography

[snousle]

It's official - I'm now hosting all my new (and newly-curated) photography over at Google Poz. Just because it's so much easier - they get synced with my Picasa albums automagically, which is already the tool I've been using to manage photos for years. For a while I chafed at the lack of presentation options, the unreadable URLs, and their grabby approach to content (I haven't found a way to embed a G+ hosted photo in an LJ entry, for example) but I decided that in the long run I just don't give a damn. I'm too lazy to do all the tedious file-shuffling I did before, and this lets me get out more photos than I can otherwise.

COME TO THE DARK SIDE, WE HAVE COOKIES.

A couple recent albums of note:

Frolicking Ranch Puppies

Montgomery Woods and Rob's Garden

There are about 20 public albums under my profile that you don't have to be a member of G+ to see. On some pages you have to click on a "Show All" link to see the whole set.

Let me know if you have any trouble finding or viewing these.

Long-form writing and occasional links to G+ albums will continue appearing here for the forseeable future.

Also worth noting - when I edit a picture in Picasa and it's in a synced web album, the URL you get from G+ using your method is different before and after the edit. The earlier URL gets you the earlier version of the photo, the later URL gets you the later version of the photo. So changes do not propagate to LJ unless you update the URL in the entry.

Not sure if that is good or bad! But G+ is keeping previous versions of photos, which is interesting...
