One of the purposes of this Photoblog is to improve my skills on  “digital photographic technique” both with the camera like with Photoshop. But, why to use a photoblog if there are places like Flickr or Picasa? Because I like “my way” of doing things. I like to control how the photos appears, how to expand them, I want to know how visitors arrive, where are they, the links around the photo… everything. Also, I would like to learn how search engines indexed and positioned images that has no text (only “title” and “alt” tags) and learn about plugins that improve the usability, layout … of a photoblog.

In this moment there are about 30 photos pushed. Here you have a sample of them:

This photoblog is powered by WordPress with a theme original from bueltge and some features from other themes (like the EXIF data table). I’m using two specific plugins: Expand Images to zoom the photos and WP-CopyRightPro as a first level of protection against copies.

All the photos (with a few exceptions) can be bought using Fotomoto site, printed over different kind of papers and sizes or downloaded and with different license types depending on the buyer purposes.

And that’s all, I invite you to visit and enjoy my photoblog and please, cosider to comment some of them.

These are the signs which guide the customer to the correct place in that restaurant:
