My NetPhotoGraphics Site & Intro

My site: photos.timbrown.us http://photos.timbrown.us/

I have been a longtime user of Zenphoto prior to the fork and after the latest name change. Before that I used Yappa-NG. I like how I can just export from Lightroom to a folder on my server via SMB shares to get the album created and really don't have to follow that up with anything else unless I need to protect an album or want a custom sort order or something. I currently have 899 albums containing over 105,000 images. I recently updated https://www.timbrown.us/ubuntu-18-04-co ... o-virtual/ the hardware for the Ubuntu 18.04 Linux server and ported over the old hardware's LAMP server drive into a Virtual Disk which now runs as a LAMP VDI under VirtualBox on the new hardware.

As far as photography goes, after shooting in high school I wanted to go to college for the profession, but my parents did not support that effort. So, I kept it as a hobby and ended up with a degree in Criminal Justice. I worked in that profession for six years before being drafted as the IT guy. Since then I finished a government career and retired, but continue to work full-time in information security in the private sector. I shoot mostly charity events like walks, runs, cycling and church events. But lately small weddings and portraits have kept me busy on a part-time basis. If I could shoot what I wanted with no worries of time and paying other bills, it would be more macro and landscapes. My newest gear is a Canon Pixma PRO-100 printer(rebate until 12/31/18) that I am enjoying so far. I also picked up a new color analyzer from X-Rite to replace my old Pantone Huey. I still have some learning to do to fully understand and implement the color profiles where needed to ensure correct color from image capture to print.

Very nice website, and it's obvious you love your "hobby" although it seems like it's nearly a full time profession, now.
