PHOTO.FINLAY.TO

Today I am unveiling some new parts of the site.  As my practice wiggles around and I play with more mediums I find I have more to show, and it’s not just animation. So I’m going to be adding a renewed passion of mine periodically to photo.finlay.to; the new photo section.  This is already where I put albums that I shoot for projects or for friends, but there’s also be a new public section where I’ll put some shots that I think came out well for anyone to see.  The first public photo post will be of photos I took during a recent trip to Paris.  Head over to photo.finlay.to to have a look.

 

DOWNLOADS SECTION

Next up is the downloads section.  In my pursuit of better and better workflows I sometimes write little scripts or applets to automate tasks or processes, and I’ve created what I think are some handy tools that I am committed to making available for download.  I believe that techniques and software should be openly shared, so there are a few handy tools here to download.   I’ve uploaded scripts, applications, templates and whatever else I think people might find useful and will be adding more all the time.  Some of these have been online in different places for a while, but now they have a permanent home where they will always be available.  Head over to finlay.to/downloads to have a look.

 

CLIENT.FINLAY.TO

Finally (and this isn’t really an unveiling because you wont be able to see anything on here) you’ll notice in the new ‘more’ pulldown on the right of the menu that I’ve added the client section.  This is a database system that allows clients and collaborators to log in and participate in the exchange and development of projects, freelance and the like.  So for those engaged in projects with me, there is now a secure place where progress can be documented away from prying eyes.  This might be something worth doing a small post about, I worked hard to build this part of the site on top of my CMS of choice, wordpress.  It’s great being able to quickly throw up download links or project updates to the site in a clean and organized manner while keeping client information private.
