I find myself increasingly interested in user-intuitive and fun-to-use javascript “things”! I remember when I first started working in web, I had no clue what javascript was. It sounded really nerdy and scary (actually I still don’t know exactly what it is, hence i said javascript “things”… but at least I recognize it when I see it now). I really thought the direction would be about Flash everything sites. I’m glad it was just a phase!
Thank you, sites like AjaxRain for opening my eyes to different types of usages and opportunites.

I am planning to submit my Moments Like Today project to it and see where that goes.

Part 1 I started this project when I was travelling to New York for three days. The idea is to capture some of the shadows I noticed while I was there. I especially liked the shadows casted on the objects in the galleries.
Part 2 I was trying to find ways to visually present this project, and came across this full-window browser scalable j-query gallery. I cropped the photos at a ratio of 16:9 at 1000 pixels wide. If I only knew how to write javascript, I would try to add a preloader for each photo instead of one for the entire gallery. It gets a bit overwhelming when you have to load so many photos at once. I really liked the scalable and full-screen part though, so I’m keeping it! I will eventually make a simplified slow version of this where its just one simple page.

p.s. I also haven’t checked this in an IE browser so please don’t make fun of me if this doesn’t work in IE7 :]. pps. For personal projects, I am not designing for IE6 anymore.
