About this Site

Everything you see here is an amalgamation of my vocation—web application development—and my avocation—photography.

This site was built using merb, a framework for building web applications in Ruby. Data is retrieved from Flickr using the flickraw gem and is beat into submission with good old fashioned math and cleverness. The JavaScript effects were created using the jQuery library.

Lightweight and powerful. Like a cheetah.
