Our portfolio page is now online. Like most photographers, I was planning on subscribing to a template provider. They are easy to update and are well polished design-wise. I, however, opted to use free flash templates available online. It took me awhile to find one that appealed to us. It took me even longer to customize it. If it is free there’s always a catch. If you want the best you have to pay for it. My response, you don’t have to pay by cash, you can always work for it. Either way, you have to work for both. In this case, I knew I need to brush up on Flash. It was hard but I knew, my perseverance will pay-off. In time, it will get easier. Just like photography or any other skill.
Everything is a work in progress. This will be continuously updated.
Here’s the link:

also, a direct link can also be found in this blog’s navigation header.
PS. It may take a while to start as the photos are being pre-loaded. Once its done, there won’t be any slowdowns
iPhone Optimized
May 25, 2008 | Filed Under weddings | Leave a Comment
This blog is now iPhone optimized or at least partly optimized. I’m not a big fan of Apple’s premium pricing. If they were sold cheap and built as well, I’ll surely grab me some of those Mac and MacBook Pro’s. Apple leads in user interface (UI) design and they just work. Their iPhone interface is one perfect example, simple, powerful and easy to use. Getting rid of the stylus and still make it work is genius. That’s what sets it apart. I thought the keyboard would be too clunky and would slow me down. It didn’t, once you get used to it you can type just as fast. Competition will catch up for sure, by that time I might be able to afford to buy one myself.
I’ll be honest, seeing the cute homescreen logos inspired me to do one for the blog. It was just too cute not to have one.

perfect weather, it would’ve been too hot if it were a day early. This really helped as there was a lot of ground to cover. literally. =) On another note, I’m still on full speed trying to improve the site, the embedded gallery here is a new feature I’m working on. You don’t have to navigate out of the page which makes it simpler and intuitive.
location: the country – diamond bar, CA

The move didn’t turn out as smoothly as I imagined. I had it all planned out but every roadblock I overcome unveils another. Whew! after spending all day working out the kinks, I’m now getting a clearer path. There are still things that need some ironing but a least it is going to be easier from here on.
Our new blog address is now, http://blog.vinceandcarla.com

The new format will be more photo-friendly. We tried to minimize as much clutter as possible. White will be our new theme, and this time, we hope to stick to this design principle as long as we can.
Along with the new blog is the new flash page.
Logos on the screenshot is different but will most likely resemble the one on the flash page.
