eternal's got rained out today

There need to be better rules around the swap - how much to spend, limits on when you send by, and actual repercussions from not going in. i like the idea of a 'qualifying' swap where you send a small package to people as a sign you are in.. but at a minimum we should (and i'm sure you are doing this) limit entry if you dropped the ball in some way.

incredibly pumped

I'm still at http://joelzimmer.tumblr.com

where are you guys getting the straight razors and blades? how much should you be paying?

so ... lightroom is on sale at adorama (http://www.adorama.com/ABLRV3MWE.html?kbid=66713) .. is it worth it?

I think L for me too.

for those of use in NY - grahame fowler has 1947 501s and 1967 505s for $260 http://grahamefowler.com/shop/item/mens-whites-original-semi-dress/ http://grahamefowler.com/shop/levis-vintage-clothing/

definitely going to have to second everything Yardsale says, once you get some momentum it's sort of terrifying how quickly you get new followers, and how big milestones (another 1,000 followers or something) gets farther away.

I posted a while ago on tumblr about this here http://everyday.joelzimmerphotography.com/post/3791096535/how-to-get-ahead-on-tumblr, but basically:

find a topic (or an idea or *something*) you are passionate about

post often (not too often, more regularly) about it

be consistent, don't over post or under post or you'll see major fluctuations

as you post more and do stuff you'll get more attention and once that happens you just get more people.

^ basically....yes

random

subway

street

on sunday it poured here, so I took pictures of people with umbrellas

damn -z-, can't rep but looks like you are having an awesome time there!

shots from my weekend

heard the bell so I knew I could get out of (non-existent) school

and hopped into my ride (man I wish)

actually, headed into manhattan to shoot engagement photos for a friend of mine around the meatpacking district, so inbetween taking 400 odd photos of them I took a bunch for me too

shopping cart by olek

craved a drink

found a sweet wheatpaste by billi kid

not sure who this is by..

same deal with this one

went up on the highline

came off to a bit of insight from elbow-toe

incidentally, I'm thinking about a street art related thread, would anyone else be interested in that? something along the lines of "that's not banksy - a street art guide"

yea actually, can i make mine double too?

walked up from work (financial district) to soho yesterday to meet friends & the gf for drinks

from wall st

to tourists

said goodbye to the towering skyscrapers

didn't need help crossing

found some street art by space invader

chatted up some ladies

interrupted a conversation

thought about bright things

and sadder days

then read the signs and was done

Like what a ton of people have said here, you may not need a full on website built out. There's enough services out there for ready made sites (squarespace, wordpress, movabletype, tumblr even, carbonmade) and shops (shopify, etsy, bigcartel) that you probably don't want to go through the hassle of building something out like that.

Basically, there's a lot of free(ish) stuff out there that you could cobble together with a reasonable amount of research. Otherwise I'd guess someone would give you an estimate of like 500-800 for something easy, probably more as it gets more complex

oh and photos from the past few days

joelz, where was the first pic taken? it's incredible

first pic was at a sufjan stevens concert in prospect park (brooklyn), they threw out all these clear balloons into the crowd (which is why I have so many photos of them) and during a slower part of the song people were holding them waiting for him to bring it back up to speed.

Facebook will almost always ruin the quality no matter what size so i never resize them anymore. Ive even uploaded a picture resized using flickr and it still messed up the quality. If you want to try it though just resize it to 640x480 which i think is the default size and use the specific sharpener in photoshop for resizing...I forget what its called.

I don't upload to facebook for that reason, also there's this part of their terms of service: http://consumerist.com/2009/02/facebooks-new-terms-of-service-we-can-do-anything-we-want-with-your-content-forever.html

basically... once you upload it to them, it's theirs. So don't upload your photos to them.
