calling all tech crew.

Want to add to Mr. Teru’s post [btw, thanks Mr. T!] Am willing/able to pay for domain page and hosting, it’s the html/design that I know nothing about and need help with.
Thanks!

hey there adam. send me an email and let’s chat. i assume you’re just looking for a really simple quick and dirty site? i’m leaving thurs for SF but will be back on tuesday if you don’t catch me before then.

Yo, my $0.02 — I don’t have much free time right now, but I do get pretty good breaks on Web hosting, and I can set up accounts pretty quick. Lemme know if you guys need anything.

Moving this over to “Technology”…

Hey fellow LightStalkers…..First, thanks for the quick responses. I just need a webpage I can direct people to where they can see a gallery of my work. At this point stills from my movies, finished and in progress. They’re .psd files now and I can easily make them into whatever size jpegs you want. Doesn’t have to be a complicated site, just something where people can click through a photo gallery with decent reproductions and read a bit of text background about my work.
I’m ready to move and can pay for hosting, just need someone to design the site for me. Would be enormously useful to me if it could be up and running before I head off for Paris end of August. There I’ll be having an exhibition of the images on the site and others, at the Gallery Vu with a great mutual friend, the photographer Michael Ackerman.
Thanks so much.
Adam

hey adam. so are you thinking something like this:
http://www.226-design.com/photos/fishkill/

if so i can throw something like that together pretty quick. like in a day or two after i get images from you (though i’ll be out of town from tomorrow to tuesday). and how is michael ackerman? i love his work. speaking of which i’m gonna buy his book(s) right now.

Yo, I have a quick formatting tip for Teru: when you use double-hyphens (aka the poor man’s em-dash) be sure to include a space before and after it. That way the site won’t get confused and show “strikethrough” text, as it is in your original post.

ah, adam and I were wondering about those black lines — I thought it was a glitch in the matrix.

Adam -

Just back from the glacier (really).

If you have it, check out iView Media Pro. They have an option for easy (and I mean one-click easy) export of image galleries to html. Really couldn’t be easier unless someone else was taking the pictures for you. It is also fairly easy to modify their presets to change the look of the output.

(I swear, they’re not paying me for this plug…I just found it to be a very easy way to output and distribute images…I just burn the html onto a CD and send it out…that way anyone with a browser can access any of the images, and view it just like a portable website).

Let me know if you need a ‘how-to’ and we’ll arrange some time on the phone or iChat.

all the best.

Good advice wolf — this reminds me that Photoshop’s built-in gallery/contact sheet export is a lot better than it used to be…

looks like I missed a lot of discussion. just goes to show, check LS every day. Anyway it looks like Adam’s gotten himself squared away.

Shinji- I may be interested in switching hosts. I will let you know.

Just tried IView media Pro and it seems very easy to use [almost too easy?]. Would like to send the html gallery it generated to someone [Shinji or Eugene for example] and see if it’s something good to work with.
Thanks Wolf for the tip.

adam, actually i’d rather just code from scratch if it’s easier. tho if you want i’ll look at the code. if ti works for you that’s great, but i’d rather not spend time hacking something that’s already been done to add ur extra sections (the bio, etc). but let me know. i’ll be back on my computer on tuesday.
