About Euan Currie and this Web Site

I am a professional web designer and amateur photographer based in Ventura County, California, USA. My new website, euancurrie.com, is dedicated solely to showcasing my digital photography.

This website takes the place of gingercow.com, which was primarily used to promote my freelance web design services. As I now work as a full time professional in that area I prefer to spend my free time indulging in alternative pursuits. I do love my job but it helps keep the creative juices flowing when you can do something completely different outside of the office.

As far as photography goes, I developed a real interest when I got my first digital camera in 2001. At the time it was a pretty decent camera, a Sony Cybershot. I think I was mostly attracted to the fact I wouldn’t have to spend money on film. You can take the boy out of Scotland but you can’t take Scotland out of the boy. In 2007 I graduated to my first digital SLR camera so the photography process got a whole lot more complicated but also a whole lot more rewarding. Now I get to be a bit more creative with the pictures and have the pleasure of sharing them with visitors to this site.

For anyone who is interested, I use a Canon EOS 40D and a variety of Canon and Sigma lenses. I try to keep the EXIF data attached to my photos so if you have EXIF Reader plugin for your web browser you should be able to view the stats for most of my photos.

My pictures are not for sale. If you see something you like and are interested in a higher resolution version, please let me know and we may be able to work something out for a small donation. If you would like to use any of these web-resolution pictures in an online project either commercial or personal, please just be kind enough to mention me as the source and include a link to euancurrie.com. I do not ask for anything more than that. Thanks!

Finally, I have links on the homepage to two web designers. Since I used to offer freelance web design services myself and no longer wish to do so, I know there may be one or two visitors who are still interested in that sort of thing. If you are based in the United Kingdom or continental Europe, please visit the website of my brother, Ruaridh Currie. His website, www.ruaridh-currie.com is a showcase of his web design talents. He does offer a freelance web design service and I would highly recommend him if you need a high quality, search engine optimized website. For potential clients based in the USA, please visit Wiredhat.com. This is the company I work for full time as a professional web designer. We create high quality modern standards based websites and specialize in digital marketing for web and print. If you visit either of these sites, please mention that you found your way there via euancurrie.com.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoy your stay and come back again soon.
