Creating this site has taken far longer than I would have ever expected. Sure it is a completely rebuilt site but…. it looks about the same? (www.peterwphoto.com)

I have been one of the busiest people I know the last few months. Planning for my future and being the most active photographer I know. I have given a lot of thought to the thousands of images captured while on my East Coast trip in early November. I revise my website (peterwphoto.com) every year and this year will be very special. This year will be my fifth year as a photographer. Five years is quite an accomplishment in my eyes and a big tip of the hat to the immense amount of time given to what until this year was a hobby. I will be slowly releasing all of my favorite East Coast images in celebration and in honor of the launch of the fifth version of my website.  I will release the images in the two weeks leading up to that moment I bought my first camera, February 14th 2006.

______________________________

Please join me here, February 1st 2010 to celebrate my biggest release as a photographer thus far.

I apologize if you thought this was going to be anything from the East Coast trip… it’s not. I am putting together a little video that will be featured under the “About Me” portion of the site. This video gives you a taste of what kind of energy is going on in my head. I hope you like it. The end and final product will look and sound nothing like this.

I spent quite a bit of time being stubborn about the computer displays that I was going to support. I was building my website on my beautiful 24″ iMac and always ignored how bad it looked on 13″ computers.

1280×800 has always been the most popular screen resolution, therefore I decided it was time to support it. My goal was to redesign the site so that a 13″ computer can see a full size image along with the thumbnails.

I started with a smaller header / top of the page because the old one was too big and didn’t look so professional. I also added Hdr to the mix along with an actual Concert gallery. Hdr is highlighted in blue to represent that it is a new feature of the site.

I am very happy on how the site turned out. I added several of the new images to the mix and removed a lot of older images that no longer seemed to be at par with my current portfolio. I also added one new feature because I like my pictures big just like I like my music loud.

There is now a Full Screen button at the bottom of every gallery so those of use with larger screen can enjoy the images the size I want you to view them.

I have spent the good part of a weeks free time on the site and it is finally complete. If you do not know I redesign my website every year and relaunch it on my photo anniversary which is on Feb 14. Next February with be my fifth year of shooting and I am looking forward to the future. I really hope you all enjoy it Please give me feedback on the site and let me know if you run into any problems!
