Over the past year or so, I’ve really started to get into photography more than ever. With Our Stock Works, and a photographer as a business partner it just starts to rub off on you! After a few holidays and various photo shooting trips I feel I’m now in possession of a fairly decent set of shots.

I know I could go ahead and start posting them on this blog, but I’m not convinced that’s really the best way to do it. It would all start to get a little messy, and probably end up with my photo-posts either petering out, or hugely surpassing any text pieces I write. With that in mind, I think a photoblog may be in order. I’ve looked at a few different systems, but it does seem that PixelPost is very simple and easy to use. I didn’t want to stem for that straight away though - I like to shop around.

PHP Blogger doesn’t really fit the bill, as it just isn’t slick and graphical enough for me. It seems a little bit clunky, and just doesn’t have that contemporary look and feel. Pictorials also looked promising, but it looks a little messily coded and I don’t want to be running two Wordpress style systems on the one server - it’s overkill! Finally, Photostand. Well it just isn’t what I need - it really doesn’t cut it compared to PixelPost.

So after scouting the competition, I ended up deciding that my original find was probably best. I’ll be using PixelPost, but hopefully customising it a fair bit to ensure it fits with the look and feel of the main blog. I think it will be good to use the photoblog as a personal reference - it’ll document events, holidays, and travel in a visual sense. This should leave the main blog free for more insightful articles and writing. I’m going to get to work customising it, and uploading some photos - then I’ll get it promoted on here! Stay tuned.
