I just had my website upgraded to a php based backend developed by Jack Brauer. It is a fabulous piece of software which enables me to more easily manage the large number of photos that I have online while also incorporating a very impressive shopping system. Beyond that, it looks great and gives me a lot of flexibility for the future. I still have hundreds of photos to upload and so some of the galleries are a bit sparce, but it is basically up and running. Take a look, and give me your feedback if you get a chance. I'm sure I still have some little bugs that I need to work out. Thanks!

Erik,
I like how you have it organized but I missed the 'new photos' section that you used to have.
I like how you have all the categories broken out under fine art, but it's not clear that clicking on fine art would take you to this menu. You might want to have these categories (colors, panos, etc.) broken out under a heading on your main galleries page.
The locations tab is better organized with easy navigation of the areas.
The overall look is about the same. The odering process seems very clear to me.

Hi Eric,
Nice web site!
I noticed one very minor bug in the Images of the United Kingdom: Bristol gallery. The caption for the lovely lighted bridge pic seems to be missing a word. It reads: "...bridge which spans the designed by..." That should simple to fix.
Jack is truly a man of many talents. Great work on both your sites!

Erik,
Great site, I love the look and the easy navigation. I've been thinking about migrating to a php system based on ExpressionEngine but have not taken the leap yet because of the steep learning curve. Is the software you used generally available to the public? Any information would be most appreciated.

Thanks for the comments everyone!
-Mark, I fixed the problem with the text. Thanks!
- Tony, I do have a New photo section, which can be found amongst the main gallery page. It is just in a different format. Also, under the News page it shows the last 10 images I uploaded.
-Evan, the software is available for purchase from Jack Brauer. You can contact him via his website at: http://widerange.org.

Looks very nice eric! A Class Job. Now if i can only fix my shopping cart to work in Mozilla, I'll share it with anyone who needs one.

Nice upgrade to the site Eric- hope it serves you well. Jack, you're the man!

Hey Erik, thanks for the plug! Glad you like it!

Very nice. Easy to manage.

Great work, Jack and Eric I like your site more than I liked it before (which was a lot!). Also, seems really snappy!
Hope all is well!

Great website. Lots of beautiful photos. Lots of colors, good light, good comps... Website layout is easy to navigate. If I wished for anything, it would be larger photos.

Nice site. I almost think the link on the collage of images on the opening page should go to the gallery page rather than the individual images, only because that's usually where such links point and what people might expect when clicking on an image.
As for the URL "imagesofrmnp.com", I assume this means that the images are the collective property of Rocky Mountain Nature Photographers and any member of RMNP can use these images for their own purposes.
