Lee and I are back from our trip out west and it was spectacular. Each day was like a separate vacation. We got to visit so many places and reconnect with much of our Colorado family. Look here for many pictures over the next week.
Low light hand held macro is my enemy! I was struggling indoors to do something creative with Brooks and Chicks rings and finally realized I might have better luck outside. I love the texture of the sidewalk here. This was right out the front door of Lawton Estates in Garland, Texas.
This is great news for those of us with largely flash based web sites. Flash content is great and looks awesome but optimizing for search engines can involve al sorts of tom foolery. Now search engines will have the ability to crawl the actual content of flash sites including text, links, audio and video.
Always looking for away to move up in the ranks:)
I read about it at Macworld
Recently I had some issues with the hosting with my former web design company. Unfortunately I was not alone. Almost all of their users were without service for almost 48 hours with no communication or updates beside a small blog post. The lack of service pushed me way out of my comfort zone and I bought a template and hosting package from Bigfolio.
In researching new companies I was unable to find anything negative concerning Bigfolio anywhere online. I liked their templates and purchased the Cherry Lane design. From my first communications with Bigfolio I knew that I was making a huge step forward in service. In the first few hours around my purchase I must have had at least five separate conversations with different members of their team. Return calls were received almost immediately.
Their online support page has a ticket system to submit questions and support requests. Even when the issues are not urgent response is almost immediate. I have issued several tickets along the way for help on various issues and the help could not be more professional.
Various issues I have had personal support with are..
Each of those separate tickets brought almost instant assistance. The personal help along the way to get my site up and running smoothly is above and beyond anything I expected.
Of course ultimately I bought the site for the site, not for the support. My new site is live so judge for yourself. I am super excited with the design, layout and function. The admin controls are so easy to use and well thought out customizing and updating the site is as smooth as silk.
To any photographer looking to get the most out of you online presence I give Bigfolio my highest recommendation.
I saw this pay phone when I was in New York and it struck me. “I don’t know when the last time I used a pay phone was. They’ve gone the way of the dodo. Better take a picture before they’re gone forever.”
I have just updated the pricing for my wedding services. I am now offering two packages. As usual I hope the pricing is simple and clear. My clients need to know up front what their dollar is buying.
There are two distinct levels that are very aggressively priced. My clients often ask why my prices are significantly lower than quality competition. The answer is simple. I am very proud of my work and am excited to offer a fair price.
I am confident that you will have a very hard time finding a photographer of significant skill with lower prices.
Packaging is flexible and I would be happy to speak with you in regards to customizing options to find just the solution you need.
You can see my upgraded pricing by visiting my SITE and clicking on “Pricing“. You may also visit the DIRECT LINK at my html (non-flash) web site.
