Redditors and Diggers probably already know what Imgur is. But for those who don’t, Imgur is my favorite image hosting/sharing created by Alan Schaaf, a computer science student at Ohio University. Learn more about it in the FAQ section and at Reddit’s /r/IAmA.

With the recent release of a public API, I quickly put together a desktop application, which allows you to quickly drag and drop an image into the app and get back a URL that you can paste in an IM window, email, Reddit, Digg, etc. It also keeps track of upload history while giving the ability to delete your images from Imgur’s servers.

The application was developed using Adobe AIR technology, which allows the application to run on Windows, OS X and Linux. I also leveraged the AIR Update framework in this as well. Here is a quick screenshot.

Hello World! You heard right. Although I regularly contribute to the Adobe Professional Services Public Sector blog, this is actually my very first personal blog post. Can you imagine that? Anyway, this blog will hopefully focus on my photography work and things that interest me and are worthwhile sharing. Head over to my portfolio website to check out some of my work.

As a background, I am a Washington DC metro based photographer specializing in wedding, family and children photography. I also work as a Senior Consultant at Adobe Systems, Inc. where I am part of a Technical Services team helping public sector customers implement Adobe’s enterprise technologies such as LiveCycle ES, Flex, AIR, PDF, etc.
