Hi Trevor,
I just brought up a new site www.placescapes.com , this site is an example of integrating photography into manufacturing functional, durable products; taking photography “off the wall”.
This is a great way to bring the beauty photography can communicate into people’s everyday life; this being my goal with photography and the products.
The photographs themselves may leave a lot to be desired, but I guess those are some of the lessons about photography I can learn in the coming years. When I took the photographs I had no idea I would need excellent resolution and framing for a printed 12x16 inch format, so I’ve done what I could with them. Another lesson learned.
The adventure of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing a product both on and off the WWW using photographs is an awesome challenge.
As much as I would like to do a series of these products with sensual photographs, I have not yet had the opportunity. Only have unclothed Pronghorn Antelope and a white moth.
Over the next week or so, I will be redesigning the web site to increase the maintainability and flexibility while at the same time making the site more palatable for the search engines; the key to marketing on the WWW. The “easy to use” web site builder I originally used had some intolerable bugs and limited flexibility; better quality tools and design makes a better web site, at least I hope so.
I would appreciate any feedback on the content and presentation.
Thanks for your help, Rick

I'm trying to develop a page of photo site links for my students so that they can really get a broader exposure to some of the art that is out there. I do have to put one restriction however, I live in a Muslim country and any site that has a lot of nude subjects could cost me my job (unfortunate, because there really is some beautiful work out there). I was hoping that y'all would be able to provide a few favorite links you think would be suitable, in addition to your own galleries as well. Thanks...Trevor Cunningham
