Tech Question: Website Monitoring

Hope everyone had a great weekend!! Is Tuesday too late to ask about people’s weekend? =) We hosted my aunt and uncle from Toronto for a few days — we hadn’t seen them in more than 5 years, so I put down the computers and enjoyed a little break to spend some quality time with...

The Blog is Back!

Our blog was temporarily down today (I’m not sure for how long) due to masses of folks checking out Wes & Serena’s wedding photos. Over 1 million people visited in the last day and it overloaded our hosting servers. Okay, that’s just a joke. Blogger had some kind of issue that corrupted the main page...

Wedding Photography :: Only So Many Weekends in the Year!

I’m really excited about a little technological time-saver I got in place today. Visual voice mail and on-computer text messaging! I’ve been using callwave.com‘s free services for a while now, and love receiving voice mails transcribed into text messages. Granted, they’re abbreviated and sometimes really off in the transcription since it’s all computerized, but it’s...

Lens Focus Testing

I just read an article that I thought was interesting enough to pass along, assuming at least some of you have SLRs! =) Seems like I recently heard some pro photographers saying that they send their lenses in every year for re-calibration. My MarkIII has a built in calibration tool that I can use to...

Megapixels: how many is enough?

“How many megapixels should I get in my next new camera?” That is the question of the century, isn’t it? =) If you wonder that from time to time, here’s a handy chart to help (thanks to Design215 of Ft. Lauderdale, FL). The numbers inside the chart (in the colored area) represent megapixels and the...

We’re finally all set up with credit card processing on our sweet new proofing system by Luckity Pixel! As of early January, ’08, we moved to a new self-hosted proofing solution that allows us a lot more control over orders, quality, and what we offer for sale on our proofing site. It’s been a huge...

Have More Than One Admin User Account!

Here’s a little public service announcement: It’s best to have more than one administrator account on any computer. That way if anything were to ever go wrong with one of the admin accounts, you have another that you can log in with to correct the problem. Not a big deal, but we just got a...

150 Miles per Gallon Hybrid!?

This is pretty cool. At the time I’m writing this, there have only been 300 views of this YouTube video talking about the next generation of Hybrid vehicles. I’ll embed it here so you don’t have to follow the link… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghlO6Ki_b5w] Pros: 150mpg, 40 mile electric-only range, very quiet, 87 mphCons: You have to plug...

If you’re one of our customers who had frustrating issues with Pictage’s proofing and ordering system, please let me know and I’ll set you up with a new gallery in our new proofing/ordering system. It’s SO smooth… you’re gonna love...

If you’ve sent us an email in the last 2 days and haven’t heard back from us, please resend it or give us a call! I noticed that we had another issue this morning with our web hosting company, Westhost. It was the 2nd day in a row that when I got up, our site...
