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 3.0 of the site using custom Lua code and the Lightroom SDK to tap directly into my Adobe Lightroom database. Stir in some Dreamweaver... I'm using css to provide all style. In addition, I just updated the search function to Google's AJAX Search API, and I'm testing Google Maps API on a few sections. 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 Qool Spotlight page.
