Baozi


This is 包子 (Baozi, steamed bun) — my coworker Sandra's cat. So cute, right?

I was tempted to skip posting today as well, but couldn't bring myself to disappoint you two days in a row (sorry about yesterday!). I'm currently swamped with photos, so blogging got bumped down quite a few spots on my to-do list.

Besides the thousands of photos from the wedding, I also have several hundred from each of the other recent events and outings (company dinner, hanging out with Dawson, Flora Expo). I should stop having so much fun; it's messing with my productivity. Oh fine, who am I kidding - these past few days have been awesome and I am so loving it! :)

Of course, the wedding photos are top priority right now. I'm thinking of showcasing a handful of my favorites on my blog and then linking to the rest of the album, which will be uploaded... somewhere. 

I need some input, please! 
1. For the album, what's a good number of photos to include so people don't get overwhelmed (like me)?
2. What's your preferred photo-sharing site (Picasa/Flickr/Facebook) and why? 

I've done a preliminary selection of photos (so you don't have to look at out-of-focus photos, or the fifty pictures of the back of their heads — even if that's what we saw for most of the ceremony), but I'm still deciding on the final number. Hm. Since I need to process and resize all of them, I should probably choose just the really good ones, even if that means missing certain moments. Gah, wedding photography is so tough! I am in awe of professionals.

So yes, it is a lot of work, but I'm excited about sharing the photos with you! My photos might not be very comprehensive or professional-looking, but hopefully they capture the spirit and heart of the wedding.

Thanks for being patient as I process the photos and for putting up with fewer blog posts during this time!


with love,
linda

    1) From the wedding, I want to see the action. I want to see what happened. So I don't care for seeing 10 nearly identical pictures of the couple at the altar, even if they look wonderful. I would say 100 is a good number.

    2) Facebook provides more opportunities for comments, so I like that. I know Brandon likes Picasa, but that's because he's a Facebook snob, which is because he enjoys being contrarian.

    Jia you, Linda!

    Do you know that before I came to college, I did not know that term? Even reading your post title (baozi), I knew what it meant (and so was somewhat surprised by a picture of a cat). Hooray for friends who teach me Chinese words.

    Facebook is hands-down the best platform if you want to share your photos easily and get lots of comments and feedback. I also use flickr (you can see the photos on my Blogger's widget, and actually the last photos I've uploaded are from E-Camp!), but admittedly kind of lost interest. With a Google account, I also have access to Picasa, which as a photo organizing and editing software is superb, but not as aesthetically appealing as flickr. Speaking of which, Facebook's latest photo-viewing window thing is hideous.

    i was kind of surprised by facebook's new lightbox thing too. but since
    refreshing the page gets rid of it, i guess it's not totally terrible.
    thanks for your input, andrew! :D
