So I'm a little bit closer to my ambitious goal for the perfect photography e-commerce site. Alert reader Kerry Liles from Toronto (thanks, Kerry!) sent me a link to FotoWeb, a software that allows you to distribute and sell your images on the Net. It looks easy enough, and through their yahoo newsgroup, I've found a student who has implemented the software more or less successfully.

As Kerry so very rightfully pointed though - "I'll be damned if I can figure out how much it is or how to buy it!! That's a bad sign already, but perhaps the product makes up for it?"

I would hope so. I have, however, found some contact info for the company FotoWare (located in Norway), only after extensive searching though (how about putting contact info on the website, boys?). Instead, they decided to hide the info at the bottom of a 2-page PDF file you can download about FotoWeb. For anybody who wants to inquire as well, here's their email: fotoware@fotoware.com.

Image of the Day: We had some mighty wild skies yesterday here in Central Oregon. The unusual cloud formation hovered over Mt. Bachelor and the Cascades into the failing evening light.
