[QUOTE=pinecleandog;41251027]Carbonmade? I havn't used that in years[/QUOTE]
Well then please provide an updated portfolio for me :)
But it's outdated too, and I havnt put all my new stuff on there. I never use the damn thing
[editline]30th June 2013[/editline]
let me just take out some crap. I'm not going to put any portrait or astro photography stuff on yet
[editline]30th June 2013[/editline]

i'm gonna be honest here, if i were you i'd hide the 3D modelling section entirely as it is now
protip: for [url]http://www.vitalsigns.net.au/[/url] don't make the background a giant png file, make a tiled 150x150 or similar square so it loads quicker

I'm not trying to make excuses, But I don't even use this portfolio. It's all really old stuff except for the pictures in "other" and 1-2 in photography.
But yeah, I'll make a new portfolio eventually.
Does making a portfolio even make sense if one is just a hobby photographer? How expensive would a .com page with ~1gb storage and low traffic be? I am currently using tumblr but I would like having my photos more organized but then again I have no idea how to organize them since they are quite random [url]http://0x766f6964.tumblr.com/[/url]
Also how hard would it be to make a simple theme? I see almost all portfolios using the same theme. Is it some public theme I could just copy?

I personally do it as a hobby and professionally, but I know what you mean. You could get a .com domain and 5gb storage for about $50-60 a year
Usually you get a web designer to make a custom theme, depends, there's free portfolio code out there

Well I noticed that 95% of the time the layout looks like this
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tFxWnDX.png[/IMG]
so I wonder if everyone is just copying each other or if it's a theme.
Personally I would like to have something more unique but for starters a theme like that would be fine.

that's because a lot of people use cargo collective (most of the themes are like that)
you should make one if you are looking for an easy portfolio resource (you can somewhat customize it to your liking)
wish this wasn't so out of focus, the lighting looks cool

imo it's a pretty good photo, but it looks strange at the very start of the portfolio, it's v good but also avant garde so it might scare some people off

It's not about copying each other/being unique, it's a utilitarian layout that gets the job done.
[editline]30th June 2013[/editline]
Your uniqueness shouldn't come from the layout of online portfolio, rather the images inside :)

Sucks man, you should try working on cruise ships as a photographer though. It's like being in Uni halls again.
Last christmas was probably the best, we had a party the night before, getting in at around 2-3. Before work christmas day we met in my managers cabin to unwrap presents and drink gin. This was 7 in the morning, we were all in dressing gowns. Throughout the day we kept ourselves topped up with the bottles of wine we'd hoarded in the office next door to the photo gallery.
The 6 portraits that we were all shooting on that night were hilarious to say the least. Thank fuck we all used tripods!

Bad pic, but that's one of the other togs stood outside the medical centre with a pretty large bottle of gin in her dressing gown
If anyones looking into an interesting way to travel the world by the way, cruise ship photographer is a pretty sick way to go!
Went to my Flickr Photostream after not looking at it for a couple of months. Decided that 85% was shit and should be deleted.
Feels fresh.

What was your last paid photography job?
Made the new theme, it's similar but different
[URL="http://nkhaslam.com/theme/main.html"]http://nkhaslam.com[/URL]
Making a gallery that works with small screens is gonna suck, but the theme adjusts
I don't look on this forum one evening and I see this:

FUYCK
DAYUM. That's hawt stuff.
CONVERT GABE, CONVERT!
This is the reason I got into Photography.
I was walking around one of the local parks, as it was a really nice day outside and I just wanted to play around with my camera. As I was walking across one of the bridges that lead into the parking lot, an elderly women with two dogs flagged me down. "I swear, you are a gift from god", she said. After repeating that phrase a few times, she finally asked me if I could take a few pictures of her and her dogs, while at the same time, handing me a tiny point-and-shoot.
I instantly accepted, and snapped a few pictures off, not thinking about it. Handing the camera back to her, she sat agianst the tree and started telling me the story of her dogs. Both of them she found on the street, nearing death. She brought them into her home about two years ago, where she lives alone. She has no husband, no sons, no daughters. The dogs are her only family that she sees on a regular basis.
Although, today was an increadibly sad day for her, as one of her dogs were going on her very last walk. This is because the dog was being treated for inflamination at a local vet, of which the treatments were not going well, at all, to say the least. These treatments were going on for a few weeks, up until a week ago. The doctor finally did some more tests, costing the women a good deal of money. The tests came back saying the dog had a rare form of bone cancer.
This cancer is actually causing the bones in the dogs leg to degrade, and also causing it to grow an extra bone in her back. This dog went from living on the streets, to being taken in, then being taken away due to sickness. The women was in tears telling me her story, you could see the love in her eyes for those dogs. The doctors said that it would be $10,000 for the surgery to remove the cancer, and even then, it would only be a 20% sucess, and if it failed, the dog would have to be put down. So, she made the tough choice to put the dog down.
So, that walk was the dogs final walk, as tomorrow, the dog is being put down. I took a few moments, out of my day, to take some pictures of the women and her dogs. After spending about 30 minutes with her, I handed her my card, and rushed home. I got the pictures edited, and am now waiting on a print to develop of them. I have her e-mail, of which I sent her the pictures. I just hope she replys back to me, so I can deliever these prints to her by hand.
The small black dog is the one being put down tomorrow.
