I recently finished making this website for my very talented photographer friend Dru Donovan. I’ve always enjoyed simple, minimal designs, and with Dru, I finally got a chance to really go there with one of my own. The site is monochrome, showcasing a single portfolio for now, but with the ability to show more as time goes on. The admin interface is probably what I’m most proud of — the part where Dru manages portfolios and such — but you’ll just have to take me on my word there since, you know, only admins allowed. It was really fun working with a good friend who shares a similar aesthetic, and who’s work most certainly deserved showcasing. Nerd notes: The site is built with Rails, and hosted by Heroku. There’s a little bit of jQuery going on in the portfolio navigation. Files are hosted on Amazon S3, via the stalwart Paperclip gem. Hooray for awesome tools that just work.

My incredibly talented friend Dru Donovan has some photos in the most recent New York Times Magazine as part of this story about California food banks.  This is her second time appearing there — this was the first (ties in nicely with the glaciers from the last post actually).  Things like this make me love the world just a little bit more. Side note: I’ll be designing a website for Dru soon-ish.  Thinking of using the awesome-looking Cargo portfolio thingy that’s powering (and I believe founded/run by) one of my favorite blogs ever.
