Making a website: Work Of Art

Making a website is a work of art using a computer (paint brush), Xhtml & css (mediums) and the human brain (artistic vision), which combines to create content with knowledge (words), pictures, and other interesting elements. 

I've used several different techniques and mediums to create art and didn't think of a web page or website as an artistic endeavor until I took this html.css class.  There is a lot of creativity to consider.  The page lay out; where you want to place things.  This is like deciding where you want to place objects like trees in a landscape.  Then there is the colors, font, and other objects to consider for placement and getting them to look nice together.  The nice thing about creating web pages and web sites is that you can try different ideas and easily change them until you get the results you looking to achieve.

This class has been an exciting, challenging, adventure I'm glad I decided to partake of and learn about.  I'm investing much time into understanding this new way of creativity and for me it is worth every second.

I had to Shoot Something!

I have been blessed to have enough vision to be able to go hunting.  For me art & hunting go together.  I enjoy the challenge of finding my quarry, doing the research, looking over the area in order to know the most effective way to get my victim in sight, track, then shoot.  Don't worry, ther is no blood shed.  My weapon is a Nikon D3100.  I can get away with shooting anything which interests me, anywhere, and at any time.  The beauty of all this is that there is no destruction.  My Nikon is legal, easy to take with me and ui have a lot of fun.  The very best part is being able to share my adventures with everyone.  Anyone else a hunting enthusiast? 


When I was very young; During the "open me first" Kodak camera chimerical(s) around Christmas time was when I started shooting things.  About 10 years ago after not doing anything with a camera, I got a video recorder camera.  It seems to have died.  I didn't use it much.  The Nikon seems made for me and I plan using it every chance I get for as long as I'm able to shoot.


These are some of my first pictures taken with the Nikon D3100.  The camera has a nice balance, is easy to operate, and accepts many accessories.  I don't have much to say about the person behind the camera.  I'm in learning mode and will have to practice.  Perhaps I will eventually get a degree in photography :-)


Most of these shots are a result of trying the different features of my camera.

The Art Of Photography

I wrote the beginning of this several weeks ago and saved this post as a draft intending to finish it the next day and publish it, however time out ran me.

I have a new paint brush!  For a mega amount of years I've waited and saved for my camera and now I have the tool I need to go to the next step. Learning xhtml/css will allow me to create websites, add logos, pictures, and other elements and content for dedicated subjects and projects.


My class is going well this semester and I expect to soon be a better photographer so these skills will work well together.  One of mt favorite subjects is Bella my APBT service dog & her friends.  I will be adding everyone to this blog.


As an art form photography is very technical depending on how much you want to learn and do with your camera.  I'm just getting started after many years of not taking pictures.  The last time I took any pictures was when I was a kid in elementary school.  I shot some moving images a few years ago.  These images are analog so I'll have to learn how to work with them before i can get the on the blog and other places.  If anyone has some resources which would help me learn about working with analog images, please let me know. I appreciate the help of suggestions and resources from you.  This would be a great gift.

I've been very, very busy working on my class assignments.  This is a wonderful class which I am enjoying very much.  My greatest challenge is doing the typing and reading of the code.  I am determined to do my very best so have increased my efforts and devoted enough time to this job to make it almost like having a full time job & a part time job. The pay is very good; knowledge is priceless!



I'm looking forward to using my html/css knowledge & camera to share pictures and information with people and help them when ever possible.
