Home Page: The site is structured for your viewing pleasure. The first portion,
featured galleries, is a collection of 4 of my favorite galleries, with images from recent trips.
The second section,
most popular photos, are of images that have received the highest ratings from viewers that have star rated the photos (a photo can receive 0 to 5 stars). The "star" rating and a "comment" section is available directly below the photos in each individual gallery.
The third section is the
galleries. As you will see, I’m primarily a wildlife photographer. So, what you will find are a diversity of galleries with a specific critter theme. Besides wildlife galleries you will also find a landscape and a Katrina relief gallery. Within each gallery you have the option of viewing the photos in several different styles. The styles option cell is in the very upper right. Click on the down arrow and you will see the available selections. Above the chosen image you will see a shopping cart which after clicking will provide you with several options to purchase photo/gifts. For additional purchase information check this link:
