Digital Photo Web
How To Make It Successful
Finally photography has come together with the web in a good way. I have made two major web sites that are primarily based on using digital photos to tell stories and build traffic from enthusiasts from all over the world. Taking pictures is a natural for most people. Same goes for talking and therefore also writing. Building a web site should be as simple as both. Unfortunately too few are willing to jump in and start their own.
This web site is intended to display digital photo stories - also and no less it serves as inspiration for you to take the step yourself.

British Museum - London The easiest way to travel from Europe to Africa to Asia to the Americas and back again in just one afternoon is to go to the British Museum in London. Still standing on its original site in Bloomsbury, London, since 1759, the British Museum is one of the most important museums in the world, with collections of historic and cultural significance from all continents. |

Tower of London If you have an interest in a piece of English history that is at once deeply significant while still maintaining a sharp edge of horror, then the Tower of London should be your destination of choice! Situated right in the center of London on the north side of the River Thames, the Tower of London has been a fortress, a prison and a royal palace during it's near thousand year history. |

Vestmannaeyjar -
Iceland Vestmannaeyjar literally means "west-man-islands". They are a cluster of islands off the south shore of Iceland with high cliffs rising from the sea.

Fishing has always been the major income generator for the islanders but there is also a great tradition for fetching eggs from the cliffs as well as hunting puffins and other sea-birds. |

A journey is started. I have been fascinated with photos since I was a little kid. Using simple cameras to capture moments in my life. From Kodak Instamatic and a Rolleyflex, later moving on to a Pentax and Nikon SLRs. For the web sites I started out with a Canon Powershot S45 digital camera and now I also have the Olympus SLR E500.
As I learn more and more, I want to share my experience and what I find works best. In the hope of making all this accessible to you this web is now started. I really hope you find it useful and will let your friends know about it.
