I’ve updated my photos home page, which serves as a gateway to all of my photos on the Web. See www.photosbymjh.com. The static photos on the left and right are drawn randomly from my flickr account – those photos change each time this page loads. The slideshow in the center comes from my picasa account. There are links at the bottom of the page to each of those accounts, as well as, my photo blog.

I wish I could put all of my photos in one place, eliminating links to multiple locations, but no one method of organizing and presenting photos works best for me. Flickr provides a great way to show my latest photos to lots of people, friends and strangers. However, flickr’s sets and collections are not as useful to me as Picasa’s albums. Each service has different benefits, so I use them both. Although descriptions of photos are available on both flickr and Picasa, I like saying more now and then, and so that led me to creating the photo blog. I regret giving you three paths to follow, but I hope you will wander down each a few steps.

At one time, I thought Facebook might replace Picasa for me. Facebook has albums and makes it easy for my friends to see my photos. Facebook’s interface and its gnarly URLs turned me off (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=-3&id=1108374610&l=dac5e1b82d).
