A Picture is Still Worth a Thousand Words

A Picture is Still Worth a Thousand Words

Anyone know what kind of flower this is?

I took this photo during a hike of the Lions Bay Loop just off the Sea To Sky Highway. A lovely little 2 hour or so hike with minimal elevation gain and cool waterfall to check out.

But I digress…

The point I wanted to make was that high quality photography is crucial to the success of a website. And I wanted to show off this flower photo that i took. I’m rather proud of it ๐Ÿ˜‰

You can have the best code/infrastructure/theme, the wittiest writing, but if your photos suck then your website will suck too and people will think that you or your company suck too. I dislike using the juvenile word suck, but I feel very strongly that superior photography matters to your business.

Re: https://www.nhl.com/canucks/…

When it comes to the Canucks jersey there is only one thing that matters at the moment. LOSE THE ORCA, NUCKS!!! #losetheorca

The orca represents the previous owners of the Vancouver Canucks, Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment. The orca logo does not represent the hockey team. Never has, never will.

We can discuss the merits of the Johnny Canuck logo, the stick-n-rink logo, etc, that would be lots of fun, but first the current owners need to commit to getting rid of the orca logo. NOW!!! Maybe we should start a change.org petition or a kickstarter campaign to pay for the logo change ๐Ÿ™‚
