I am not a proponent of using Flash to create entire pages. However in small doses, it can do a lot to to spruce up an HTML based site. Samantha Nagmay insisted that her portfolio site “grab the attention” of those who view it. For the front page I created a short animation that shows the development of a sculpture from design to form to patina.
Finding that path less traveled. One blustery afternoon while on a camping trip in the Washington backcountry, I had the idea for www.TrailB.com, a hiker community site. I envisioned a place where I could photo blog all of my adventures for others to see and also search for new adventures by reading the logs of other outdoor travelers. During the summer of 2005, I thru-hiked the 2600 mile Pacific Crest Trail, uploading my daily journals to the site as I went along.
I am currently working to update the site. Check out the in-progress development version.
On April 17, 2005 my partner and I set out from the Mexican border for a six-month backpacking expedition to reach Canada by way of the Pacific Crest Trail.
The PCT travels over 2650 miles through California, Oregon and Washington. It traverses a wide variety of landscapes ranging from the waterless deserts of southern California to glacier-capped peaks of the Pacific Northwest.
This trip took years to plan, and was more eventful and inspiring then we ever could have imagined. Due to injury and illness, we did admittedly have to skip a few notable sections of the trail this season. Yet by the end, we completed over 2400 miles and gained a much greater respect for nature (as well as our sore feet).
During the course of the adventure, we logged hundreds of journals, took thousands of pictures and even captured a few short movies.
Now that the trip is at an end, I have taken some time to compile everything. You can find all of the logs at www.TrailB.com/PCT.

Freelance Project, www.AlyssaAndRobert.com. I was contracted to design and build an informational web site for a large upcoming wedding. The site provided an introduction to the Portland area, as well as contact information for services regarding the event. The domain has expired, but an archive of the site is still available.
www.Nagmay.com is the growing portfolio of Samantha Nagmay, a local Portland sculptor. The site contains biographical information and images of her many, many works. As of summer 2005, several of the section are still waiting for content to be provided.
