Photo Blog
Hello, welcome to one of the web's original and oldest photo blogs. JohnKane.com is over ten years old! The site went online in 1997, and became a photo blog in 2001.
I recently launched version 3.1 of the site, and now offer fine art prints of selected photos using secure e-commerce from Google Checkout. Out of five thousand photos, I've chosen ten to print. Visit the gallery to view or purchase these photos.
The site uses custom Lua code and the Lightroom SDK to tap directly into my Adobe Lightroom database. Dreamweaver is used to synchronize the library assets, and css is used to provide all style. In addition, I just updated the search function to Google's AJAX Search API.
I'm testing an integration of WordPress into the site; once I have the php, xhtml and css tags all happy I'll role that out as a new section. Here's a link to the mess underway backstage. :)
Hope you enjoy the new site!
Cheers, John Kane

The California Academy of Sciences is an amazing scientific institution based in San Francisco. They recently reopened in a fantastic space age & green building in Golden Gate Park. Every Thursday they hold an after-hours event called Nightlife. This week my friends from Qoöl were spinning. I've also included a link to this set from my Qoöl Spotlight page.
