Folks,
A friend asked me how long it had been since I had updated my web site...I was shocked (and embarrassed) to determine it was almost 20 years...well, heck, I've done a lot since then!
But being cheap I decided to use something I was already getting for free (as in thrown in for a price) and that is Adobe Portfolio...
So, I've been playing.
If you are interested, the main page is Jeff Schewe Photography (https://jeffschewe.myportfolio.com/photography)
This is a soft launch (meaning while it's public it's not connected to my schewephoto.com domain yet. That's so I can work on it and fine tune. I'm currently using Lightroom synced collections to propagate the images (although the order is frustratingly variable). As it stands, I'm not seeing an easy way to add captions in Lightroom and have them show in the web site (kinda need them in places I think).
For those of you with a sense of humor, you might want to check out I WAS THERE (https://jeffschewe.myportfolio.com/i-was-there)
:~)

Wow, even on a tiny iPhone the abstracts are amazing. Can’t wait to get home and kickstart my desktop to enjoy them bigger. Congrats.

Wonderful work Jeff! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Nice stuff, Jeff.
I don't think there's any way of adding captions, or any kind of reference number, to photos in a photo grid. It's something Adobe have said they are thinking about adding.
As you observe, you can't control the order of images in a grid either. Nor can you change the cover photo for a collection, as far as I can tell, without deleting it from the Portfolio site and reinstalling it.
Portfolio is easy to use but, I find, incredibly frustrating to tailor. But it's worth every penny I don't pay for it.

Fine work, Jeff. I almost rolled on the floor laughing when I saw the Wall Drug sign. I don't know how many of LuLa's contributors ever stopped by Wall Drug, but I did it somewhere around early 1955 when all the highways in the western part of the U.S. were loaded with Wall Drug signs. You finally got to the point where you simply couldn't resist the temptation to go see Wall Drug. We were stationed in Rapid City at the time, so it wasn't too big a deal to make the trip. When you got to Wall, South Dakota (nowadays it's on I90, but in those days it was just plain old US 14), what you saw was a small, dusty, western town. Wall Drug was just another normal western drugstore with unfinished wooden floors and standard counters and display coolers. Only difference was that because of the damn signs the place was full of people just milling around. I'm sure they sold a lot of soda and ice cream.

Bravo!

If anybody can persuade Adobe to deal with these limitations, I presume it's you. Please let us know when the metaphorical check is in the proverbial mail. . . .

Scary! Prolly advisable to warn parents and grandparents they should use discretion in showing young children that last link. (By the way, why did you flip the shot where you are squinting through the Canon viewfinder right-to-left?)

Fantastic, Jeff! Thanks for sharing it.
I only had time for "I Was There," "Abstractions," and "Death Valley" on the first visit. I'll be back for all the rest real soon.

+1 Just like Adobe Spark: stupidly easy to use, but offering very limited control.
But, really, Jeff? A HARLEY? Eeewwwww. :)

The photo of you sitting amongst the penguins reminds me of walking down the hallway on the ship and smelling penguin poo. Now I know where it was coming from!!! ;D ;D
Thanks for reminding me of our trip in 2009.
Also nice photo reminders of you and Michael.

Wonderful images, thanks for sharing

Slick looking site!

As far as I can see you have to do all the arranging and captioning in Portfolio once the pictures are in the application (click on the little pen symbol in the top left corner of an image in Portfolio edit view).

Yes, you have to select Edit Grid (not reorder page), then you can drag images around, although I don't know if Lightroom Sync overpowers (or undoes) that
