Giles Hoover, Photographer

…I’ve filled in the “about” page. Read all about, well, me. Inundated (Self-Portrait 2008) Lots of mistakes. Yet, somehow, still glad to be here. As always, thanks for stopping by.

For a while now, I’ve been meaning to recode this blog such that there are two classes of posts: “Post-type posts,” which are similar to this entry — because this type of entry is all that I’ve got set to go right now. “Quickie-type posts,” which are snippets, things that aren’t worthy of a full [...]

I’m caught up … with the design projects. Everything on the design “to do” list is current. Su-weet! On the other hand … I’m like a month behind with photos. The list below is still pretty accurate, just not yet posted…;) The “pretty accurate” refers to the Cherry Blossom stuff. Those who know me know [...]

Been a “hella few months,” as they say around here. Thankfully, finally, beginning to catch up. Here’s the to-post list, in order: [the rest of] Conner’s Birthday David’s Cocktail #1 David’s Cocktail #2 Sipsey (RI) Cherry Blossom (TK, especially next Saturday’s street fair) Should be done and posted within a few weeks, I’d say. Thanks [...]

It occurs to me that, stupidly, I haven’t been updating the blog every time I’ve been updating the site. Need to cross-post. Host at Kitchen Table Thanks, Jim! It was nice knowing I could bring my mother along, and much appreciated her feeling welcome. Just a brief gallery — nine photos. Check ’em out. Edit: [...]

Some massaging today: To all three of Carey’s galleries (One, Two, and Favorites), as one photo was deleted — yeah, we deleted the racy photo — and another added. (Naturally, the photo added was at the beginning, messing up my numbering scheme…;) To this site’s look, re-adding the entry page back, along with a link [...]

Redid both this blog’s structure and the back end over the past couple of days. Satisfied enough that it’s going to be the site’s front page until I can take the customization to the next level. There’s still some tweaking left to do — the about page, some other static pages, Google stuff, etc. — [...]

Wonkiness? Did I mention?

…I’ve started to put together additional content for the upcoming gallery refresh. Note, too, that I plan to change the photo section from it’s current location — hosted with Zenfolio, branded as Zenfolio — to photos.gileshoover.com. This might result in a short disruption. If you’ve been gracious enough to bookmark anything, it should still work. [...]

Well, so, here it is. The “new” GHdotcom. I’ll be honest: it’s a compromise. WordPress uses PHP, which is currently — probably forever — over my head. Thus, for this very-badly-behind-the-times web designer, I turned to templates. The one in use here, Cutline, is similar to what I want the “words” portion of the site [...]
