As you can surely tell from our photos, we are not professional photographers. We are shutterbugs at best. We began posting a daily photo on our family website in April 2005 and then launched juxtapose seven months later.

All of the photos on this photoblog were taken with one of three digital cameras. We started out with a Sony Cybershot in 2002, and then moved to a Kodak DX7590 in spring 2005. Currently we're using a Nikon D50, purchased in December 2005, along with a handful of lenses.

We take an average of over 100 photos per week. We tend to do very little post-processing on the photos we post; in fact, we don't even own Photoshop. Generally we shoot in Nikon RAW and process using ufraw and the GIMP. In many cases where a photo has had additional post-processing, it is noted in its commentary (under "details").

This web site runs entirely on open source software. The site itself is built using Ruby on Rails as the web application framework. We have adopted Ruby on Rails at my workplace and this is my first personal project in Rails. Other open source technologies used to power this photoblog include Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
