Photography Site Redesign

It was time for a makeover of my SmugMug galleries. I wanted to simplify it and update the look. The homepage incorporates SmugMug’s built-in slideshow feature.

Christmas Greetings

It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone. Thanks to all my design and photography clients who’ve made this a great year. I’m looking forward to continuing to work together in 2010.

As time permits, I’ve been working on a new coat of paint for my site. Hopefully the new design will make a few things a little easier to find, and I can feature some recent work a little more prominently. My site is a custom theme I’ve created for WordPress, a popular blog system that works well for many applications. Please excuse any broken links or missing images you run across. Let me know how you like the site.
