sheldonm Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) After months and months of thinking about it and more months actually working on it, I finally have my first web site of jazz photography. The site was actually built by our good friend Africa Brass and what a great job he did! Although I've spent much time photographing many artists over the past dozen years, AB has spent a ton of time over the past few months, weeks and days working on the site to make sure it looks just right. Please take a few moments to check out the site( http://www.marksheldonphotography.com/ ) and let me know what you think (be honest). The site will have several changes over the upcoming months with many additional artists/images/features being added. I realize this could be considered spam by some but I will take my lumps as they come! Thanks for looking and thanks for any feedback you have! Thanks again to AB (and his wife, for her patience) for lending his talents to the site! Mark Edited March 9, 2005 by sheldonm Quote
AfricaBrass Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 You're welcome, Mark! I'm glad I could help out. You have a lot of great photos in there. Quote
Dan Gould Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 This is no spam, Mark. Its letting your friends know about your website. Anyone wants to give you grief, they'll have to talk to me. Sight unseen, I'm sure it looks great! Quote
maren Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Looks great, Mark! The photos are beautiful, Mark! And so is the site, Jeff! Cool links -- including this one, for all your web design needs: http://www.jeffblakedesign.com/index.html (spamming on AB's behalf -- not that there'd be anything wrong with it if HE did!) Quote
sjarrell Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Great looking site, Mark! From photos to design to speedy loading, it's aces. I'll be checking in often! Quote
ghost of miles Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 That is a beautiful site, Mark! Congratulations to you and to Jeff! Quote
couw Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 congratulations on a great site, both of you! Quote
doubleM Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 The site looks great! Nice work, gentlemen! Quote
sidewinder Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Great site guys and some nice photos there.. Quote
Late Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Mark — great site, and a professional layout. (Not to mention the photographs!) Nice links, too. They led me to explore resident Organissimo Jeff Blake's site and Matt Moor's site. Quote
John B Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) Mark and Jeff, The site is fantastic! Great work. Wonderful photos and easy navigation. Edited February 8, 2005 by John B Quote
Ron S Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Congrats to both of you guys! It's a beautiful site--both the content (photos) and the design. And Jeff (now that I know your real name ), it's great to see that your inestimable graphics talents are being put to some productive use beyond merely amusing members of this board. Quote
sheldonm Posted February 8, 2005 Author Report Posted February 8, 2005 Mark and Jeff, The site is fantastic! Great work. Wonderful photos and easy navigation. Thanks for all the kind words and the time taken to view the site (and for the PMs I've received). One of the goals was to make it easy to navigate, as I know it drives me crazy to spend time trying to figure out how to go from page to page on some sites; Jeff follows instructions very well ! I have hundreds (many thousands) of additional photographs to sort through and will be adding more images as time permits. I think AB is a little overworked and underpaid at this time; I'll let him catch his breath ! Thanks again, Mark Quote
couw Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I think AB is a little overworked and underpaid at this time; I'll let him catch his breath ! don't go lenient on those artsy fartsy internet geek type dudes. Before you know it they will not only be pretentious, but get LAZY too! Keep a tight leash! Quote

king ubu Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Very nice, Mark! Great to be able to see so many of your photographs in one place! (Wtf has Von Freeman done with his tie, btw?) AB, the site looks nice, and yes, it's easy to navigate! on all accounts! ubu Quote
Ron S Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 Mark, maybe I missed this, but are you going to sell prints through the site? (And if so, don't let that sleazoid Jeff try to hit you up for a 20% "Web Designer's Commission" on every sale ) Quote
bluesForBartok Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 excellent work! nice looking site Quote

(And if so, don't let that sleazoid Jeff try to hit you up for a 20% "Web Designer's Commission" on every sale ) ...I will sell any image on the site but am still working out some things. I have the "print of the month" for sale and am donating a chuck of it to the Jazz Emergency Relief Fund. I will probably have others prints available at a reduced cost without donations....more to come soon! Quote
