Squarespace Version 6

I haven't updated my photography/art site www.nihilnil.com in way too long. I have a SSP Flash site ready to go and a million new images. However, I wanted to test out Squarespace's beta V6 to see how it compares.

You can view my explorations in to the wild and wonderful world of SSV6 here: nihilnil-beta.sqsp.com

I want to thank Josh Kill for taking time out to explain the backend and upcoming features in V6 last week at SS headquarters.
Everyone is going to be very impressed with their genius.

Venice, Italy: The City of Love

Here's a shot from Venice, Italy using Bulb mode and a looong exposure. There were many people walking by the water front.
Love in camera tricks.

Travels & Orchids

Here is a favorite shot taken during a recent trip to Costa Rica. This is either the largest finger in the world, or the tiniest orchid in the world... you decide.

Monument Valley and Moab, Utah

Here are some shots from a recent trip to Utah. If you ever get a chance definitely check out Arches National Park in Moab, Utah. It is so vast, like walking amongst huge dinosaurs of rocks.

Pretty sure a wizard lives on top of this rock, scepter in hand.

Monument Valley was definitely worth seeing, but in a way it was disappointing. It's a sacred site for the Navajo's so you can't get very close to anything. The Navajo's live there, so dealing with all the rules of where you can and can't go was annoying, plus a pack of wild dogs chased our truck forever before we finally could speed up fast enough to leave them behind. Arches National Park was way better, you could climb on the rocks if you wanted to.

a beautiful sunrise, Moab is surrounded by mountains and rock formations, so there was a panorama of different colors everywhere you looked
