I have had in the back of mind for some time about using Picasa as the back end for my photos that were included on my blog. It only makes good sense as I noted just a few days ago, given that I already work up and store all my photos as a backup archive using Picasa. While the NextGen Gallery tool I have been using is great, it has typically meant an extra set of work ups for any photos I had an intention to put to the web. After a few days looking, quite by accident from another blog I have found Shashin (Japanese for photograph) that does all I am looking for with my Picasa pictures. A short list of what features I required that Shashin supports follows:
I have not done a group of my short observations in a while and decided it was time to do so. I have a list that is from around Christmas, but I will come back to that one. This one was a list that I had already started and especially came back to when I was writing another blog entry. It was during that writing (see common sense below) that I realized it was only a few words and completely contained. Anyway, without further ado here is some of the things I have been observing and perhaps am continuing to observe here in the early part of the new year, 2011…
Some pictures of the first snow of the winter season. Okay, as a friend pointed out, yeah, not the first snow, but rather the first snowfall with measurable accumulation. Anyway, I took a few pictures of it yesterday morning when I headed out.
