You've put a barrier between us with that hard to read font. And all caps are harder to read than normal text. Maybe if the font were bigger?

I found that it makes the blog seem a little more casual, but I do agree with you... i will work on the settings and will bump this topic so you can check it out.

Welcome aboard!

I would go with a standard, web font and let your style define "casual" or not. These fancy, flowing, squiggly or script-like fonts do not translate well onto computer screens and make things difficult to read. You've got some nice photos out there, but the posts are still hard to decipher.

what do you guys think of the mobile version of the site... I'm thinking of just matching font to that. Edit- just cleaned up the post font... should look a lot cleaner now. thanks for commenting about the photos... I know there is nothing extravagant right now, but more to come.

the font is much better now, still feels a bit small to read, in my opinion,the tittle My adventure in the world of photography with my 1st full frame DSLR... the Canon 5D. has a good readable font size (something between what you have now and the tittle should be good. the pictures are good but it would be nice if they could be larger, (once you click on them). I think you should mention if you do any post production work to the images or if they where shot in raw or jpg etc. I think is a great start,
looking good! cheers

thanks man I'll up the font a tad bit. yeah sorry for the pic size. I'm a bit weary about uploading hi-res pics on the net. all my net uploads are 640px jpegs.

I am actually going back to give a description on every photo that I uploaded, so check out for that update soon.
