I wrote some simple software that automates maintaining my site:

Basically, I just take pictures as I work, then plug in my camera at the end of the night. The software automatically downloads the photos, scales them to three sizes (thumbnails, medium size, and full size), then uploads the photos to my hosting company and automatically creates a new entry for my blog. All I have to do is type a short description of each picture and hit post. If the pictures span several days, a separate entry is created for each day, making it easy to update the site only when it is convenient for you.
This software requires a Movable Type installation, though it could be customized for other blogging software.
