Adam, our “web master” and son has been helping us get our home on the web upgraded. We have a new look to the Gallery page when you link there. We have a link to this blog when you click info. The link to PhotoReflect will be changed soon to link to a password-protected private online gallery for view your preview images. Currently we send you a link that take you to your “hidden” preview galleries. We will be adding more samples in the gallery area. Here’s what it looks like now in case you didn’t come to the blog via the home page.

Wayne and Susan requested that we post their previews to the public gallery so please do visit and see their romantic photographs after 17 years of marriage. I understand the children said Mom looks like a young model! Wayne and Susan are also featured on the main home page. Click the Gallery link and browse through the images. You can come back and post a comment here that we will share with them.

1 July 2008:  Update  We’ve changed the look of our page and more changes are coming.  No longer is the main title in Black with white lettering, instead it’s white with black letters.  We think that’s much easier to read.  We’ve also enlarged the images a bit and hope to add a slide show that will rotate the images on the main page soon.  The buttons are slightly larger and we’ve taken off the “PhotoReflect” button and replaced it with Clients which takes clients directly to our password protected Proof Buddy Galleries and ordering information.   I’ll post a screen shot soon.  RG

Fall offically arrived eight days ago and along with cooler days and night. And with the cooler weather we are fitting in re-scheduled appointments that were postponed due to the excessive heat wave we experienced. I mentioned to our friends Susan & Wayne when we photographed them Saturday evening that it was only about 82 degrees and we had a nice breeze. When we started planning for their session back in late July and August the temperatures were as high as 106 degrees (taking into account the “heat factor) and 20 degrees cooler makes a BIG difference. It’s still pretty warm and dry here in Georgia, though and we desparately need rain. Just, please rain don’t come on the weekends, we need you after midnight, weekedays, like in Camelot. By the way, the Augusta Opera is going to putting on Camelot October 13th and we plan to go see it.

Stock Photography Agencies hold and manage sales of photographs primarily for illustrators, web designers, advertising agencies, book publishers, etc., for photographers. Warren & I applied and were accepted a submitting photographers to iStockphoto which is a division of Getty (Stock) Photography several years ago, but we have not been really active in submitting photograph to the agency. Each photograph is scrutinized and must pass numerous technical and legal criteria to be approved for placement on in iStock’s galleries. We have made it a goal to submit and get at least 4 images a month accepted for the next 12 month, if not more.
