The Blog

I updated some spelling errors and added personal Information about me under the Contact page, check it out! I also added a Legal page, so that is covered as well.

There are some new photos on my photo stream, you can check them out here. I was at the Spiel 2011 Trade fair in Essen, as soon as I have edited the best Photos from there they will apear on my photo stream.

Aww yeah, feels good to reach a goal!

WordPress is nice but you really have to learn the way to work with it efficiently. Now all the clicking and scrolling is done and all the content is in! Also my boss has agreed to letting me show some of the web layouts I did for OEVERMANN Networks which is totally awesome! Take a look at them on the Websites page.

Let me know what you think, don’t hesitate to write me via the contact page, the comment function at the bottom or directly to info@ds-m.de.

Now I can concentrate on generating more interesting content and further fill up the pages with awesome stuff to look at!

I will go happily to sleep now, all the best

Almost done!

I am currently saving all the new slide shows and have finished the website portfolio images. I will upload them as soon as I can, but for now I have other tasks to do. The weather is beautiful and tomorrow we’ll go climbing! Yess!

I was photographing the Kabarett Bundesliga tonight, which is a tournament to find the next great “Comedian”, you can find it here on flickr. We had Michael Feindler & El Mago Masin with very refreshing shows, each a a totally different style. Both are musicians and both write really great lyrics, Michael had awesome rhymes and very thoughtful jokes, while El Mago played the audience and got many laughs with his silliness.

I will definitely come back for another show, this time enjoying it from the perspective of the audience.

I am currently adding all the photos as slides inside wordpress. The process is a pain, you have to create every single slide for the big background slideshows by hand and click through pages and pages of files in the media library to find the right one, while remembering what you added last and what you called the other images of the series.

The slideshows “Nature” and “Architecture” are complete, only “Event” and “People” to go (and maybe a mixed best-of one). When they are done you will see the slideshows in action behind the gallery pages, which have content now.

I still have to check with my boss if I can showcase the Web Layouts I did for the company, I’d really like to put them up here. Will do that soon!

Understanding how wordpress themes work from scratch is quite harder then I expected. Once you figure it out it is obvious, yet to find the right drop-down menu entry in the right sub-category that depends on whether you have already created a dependency… and so forth.

The main welcome site now has the architecture slideshow as background. Once I have all the other images online and sorted I am going to change it to a collection of my top-shots. Maybe I’ll throw a web layout in there, we will see.

My new Site.

Finally!

Still a lot to do. How do you like the new “German Rainbow” color palette? It will look better once all the pictures are in. So far so good!
