Navigation Fixed

May 7th, 2008

Some people have commented on how the navigation rollovers would “blink” before loading. Thanks to Donny Mak for taking the time to fix that issue. I can now say that the navigation works just fine in both IE and FF.

Safari and Opera users should let me know!

Welcome to Mackeydesigns Version 5

May 3rd, 2008

So this website has been a work in progress for several months now, but it’s finally complete! So I think. Anyways, the site is filled with pictures, graphics and tons of useful tools and links to kill at least a few hours if not several minutes.

If you need assistance navigating my site, here are a few simple guidelines:

The main site navigation above (still being fine tuned, IE: rollovers) you’ll find 4 main links. The first one, the blog, which you are already on, is the main content area of the site, gives you the latest posts by me or anything I might find important. The second is portfolio, this will take you to my pretty flash portfolio for photography and graphics. The about me section is if you want to find out more about me, and then lastly, resources, which will always be updated with how-tos and links.

Camera Armor - Featured Professional Ad Campaign

May 1st, 2008

Sometime last year I was in need of some camera protection, after all, hanging out a car going 70+mph taking pictures isn’t exactly “safe” for my camera and lenses. I did some research and came across this company called Made Products, who make Camera Armor. In short, I find out that they are here in Seattle!

A few emails and a couple phone calls later and I’m in downtown Seattle talking with Robert Iwanik, Supply Chain Manager for Made Products. I purchased the black protection for the Nikon D200, turned out to be really well made product, very strong, durable, easy to use, very snug. I had a little issue with my grip, but I trimmed it a little bit and it worked out just fine.

Not too long after that, I was asked if I wanted to be the first featured profile for the Camera Armor line. Let’s just say I didn’t say no. I was asked a few questions, sent them a few of my photos, and next thing you know, my profile is not only running on their main Camera Armor brochure, but it’s also being advertised in magazines!

I fully support Camera Armor and would suggest that you get one for your camera, after all, it is an investment.
