coming together-

Every one's gathered together to get
their photos taken for the Update:

Preparing for an update is a lengthy process.
Obviously, there's the time spent making all the pieces - but once that's finished the actually website prep begins. I'm in the thick of it now- so here's an outline of what my day will entail:
  • Shoot each animal on a white fabric sweep (love my new camera: Nikon D5000)
  • Remove the background in Photoshop (I use a variety of tools to highlight and delete the background area)
  • Hand write all the descriptions
  • Scan and copy handwriting into each Photoshop file
  • Program the new web pages (I write my own HTML in BBEdit)
  • load all the new files onto the server (I use Transmit)
PRESTO! Instant Website Update- well it may not be instant but I'm happy to take the extra time to make everything look just so. Details- for me it's all about the details. Okay, now back to work.

(side note: I know I know - I've been giving you all a lot of sneak peaks of the pieces I'll be posting tomorrow- but rest assured, I'm not pre-selling anything.)
