Photo Blog
Original 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 upgraded my search from Google to a custom spider/php solution. I can now crawl 100% of my entire site, and tweak and configure the index so you can easily find photos and stuff. I'm currently testing Facebook's "Like" buttons which I think are useful and fun.
The site uses custom Lua code and the Lightroom SDK to tap directly into my Adobe Lightroom database, and php and MySql to run my WordPress Bloggy Blog.
The site offers 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.
Hope you enjoy the site!
Cheers, John Kane
