I made progress this week in converting more galleries over.   I knew this was going to be a tedious chore, but wow, it is tedious with a capital “T”!   Not only am I pruning a lot of old work, but my music library is getting a good workout. 🙂   It helps keep my motivation going.    Some great new music from Moby – his new album is really good.   Some others that just seem to be on repeat a lot through this process – Depeche Mode‘s ‘Spirit’ – one of their best in years IMO, and D.A.R.K. (featuring Dolores O’Riordan RIP – such a great voice and musical spirit, and Andy Rourke from the Smiths), and Portugal the Man – enjoying these guys more and more.   All worth checking out.

A feature of this new gallery software is that I can insert modules into posts, so let’s see if this works…   Some new online galleries below:

 

Hey, seems to work!  Not all galleries are fully populated with all images yet.   I am just establishing the main structure mentioned in my last post so the updates can be done via Lightroom.  Feel free to explore around via the top menu as well.  🙂

    Works very well Mark. Real nice presentation. And I so like your abstracts. I forget how much I like your work when you don’t post as often 🙂
    The stone and ice images are wonderful. Masterful even. I’ll be spending time with some of these, looking forward to getting lost in them.
