Photos From Italy
posted on october 27, 2004, tag: photos
The hard part of taking nearly 500 photos isn't narrowing them down to the 315 or so that you really like, it's giving those 315 titles and, if possible, descriptions. It took a great deal of time. It took far less time to hook into the Flickr API and update my photos section to get the sets from Flickr and display thumbnails and details.
I'll be uploading all my future photos to Flickr. It's great, and it so much easier to use than making my own photosets. Not to mention that it allows for comments and for more people to see my photos.
And so, all 315 photos are now available for your viewing pleasure. I've grouped them by city. Since the photos page shows newest to oldest, you might want to start with the last set (Taormina) and work backwards to the newest (Cefalu) if you want to see them in the order they were taken. Feel free to leave comments at Flickr or general comments here.
Also: There seems to be an issue with RSS/Atom feeds not getting updated. I've fixed it temporarily, I'll get to the bottom of the issue tomorrow.

UNBELIEVEABLE!! Garrett, those pictures are beautiful...
It'll take me a day or so to go through them all, but it'll be worth it! :)

Yeah, I should have mentioned that you will need to set aside 50000 hours to view all of these photos.

just curious, are you using a flickr tool (such as the iphoto plugin or official uploader) or the straight upload form to get your photos up onto Flickr?
love your site, looking forward to checking out your CMS, sounds right up my alley.

chrisb—I used the OS X Uploadr to upload these photos.

I was in Sicily exactly the same week as you also landing in Catania. I stayed in an apartment near Taormina in Isolla Bella, and ate out every night in Taormina.
I also took many photographs on my holiday, although I am not the photographer you are. I have shots of lava flows on Etna, Taormina/Isolla Bella, volcanic island Vulcano, Villa Romano and the Greek temples at Agregento.
Perhaps you would like to see some of them? Tom.
