This article from Salon.com has been archived now so I have included all of it and you can expand ‘more’ to read it all. The article is worth a visit though, mainly for the links as I have not included them all. I like the article and I like the concept of Fotolog. You can visit my Fotolog here but I will leave any further description of this service to the wonderful words of Katherine Cutmull.

April 22, 2003 | On April 15, Jimwich’s Fotolog featured a remarkable close-up of a full moon, milky-gray with muddy craters against a deep black sky. Because the focus was less crystalline than his usual work, Jimwich explained in a comment below the picture that he shot it through binoculars, “a somewhat unwieldly setup.” But a long ribbon of additional comments from visitors registered no complaints: “amazing shot,” “unbelievably pretty.”
Thumbnails running down the left of this Web page link to Jimwich’s other recent photos: bright mosaics against a brick wall in Mountain View, Calif.; a lowering watertower; a bee descending toward a flower, every pollen crumb in its fur caught with hallucinatory sharpness.
To the right, more thumbnails link to other Fotolog pages—Jimwich’s “Friends/Favorites” list. These are updated constantly as the pages they link to change; on this day, they include a blossoming fruit tree in central France, rusty New York City buildings in a limpid dawn, and an unusually crisp phonecam self-portrait taken in Berkeley, Calif.
