New Website (2nd) - but Photography

[mdvaden]

Just started putting together a 2nd website for photography.

Before last summer, my interest was mainly forest. One shot around August with a nice reflection in water prompted an interest in practicing portrait shooting. I'm thinking of doing some senior or individual photos later in summer. This is the new 2nd site, in development. Not sure what the home page will look like by 2013.

Would like to find a few more male models too, for "TFP" (trade for print). Contacted a dozen guys from Portland to the Oregon coast but they have been inefficient with replies. One I met was prompt, prepared and reliable.

My main (1st) website has been really useful so far. In fact, the 1099 from Google this week, shows they paid me over $4000.00 in ad revenue for 2011. My 1st site got 1800 page views a day in summer.

One sample from the shoot with "Uneek"

Sure enough !!

That one of Moss is one of my favorite photos from last year too. He just looks so in his element.

Swapped the pic below, for the train trestle shot posted earlier.

Like the old wood door background in this one better. Older building in NW Portland industrial area.

If you visit the new site link I put in the OP, go to the gallery and find the shot of the blonde in the blue gown with ferns.

The photo below was taken about 20 minutes later, wearing shorts and tank top. 43 degrees and windy too - lol

Mistersir's shooting range topic reminded me of the last shot I posted in here.

Here's a guy version ...

Here's something a little less hardware and more woodsy.

Late month I picked up two parasols and just started using them. Think these are going to be real handy items.
