Nice email from a recent workshop attendee....
It is always nice to get emails from former workshop attendees. “Don, Very long overdue, but I wanted to say thank you for a fantastic workshop in NYC this May. I learned a tremendous amount in a short time and gained a significant amount of confidence. I’d been circling around many of the concepts for some time trying to teach myself through blogs, books, etc. You brought it...

And if that is not enough, we now have photographers attacking other photographers by name. To what end does it lead? What is gained? Those of you who know much about me know I love jazz.

Well, two sites in one day… whew.I took the previous site I designed, darkened it up with a cool, very deep texture. Moved the “New Work” to closer to the top so it is not being hidden by the ‘fold’. Added the twitter feed, and otherwise kept the site design fairly straight forward. Again, great design for a startup photographer. Showing four projects, can expand...

A site design that has a lot of 'content'...
On this design I wanted to show a more content rich site with less content. Perfect for a photographer in startup mode, it allows for 8 projects (4 is shown) and 6 images in the “new work” area. This site may need some tweeking for small screens, but I am going to go ahead and put it up. If someone wanted this design, I would most likely work the “new work” into a smaller,...

Can You Get The Shot?
Every. Single. Time. It is what the professional photographer is hired to do. Be creative and imaginative and organized and spontaneous and inventive enough to make the shot under most any circumstances. It can be very stressful and challenge the abilities of every photographer at one point or another… but it is a challenge that cannot go unanswered. Commercial photography has been likened to...

As you can see, I took last week’s design and made it my very own new site.It is what I want it to be and will be able to grow along with my work. It is in a subfolder from www.dongiannatti.com, but that shouldn’t hurt SERP’s at all. Pretty excited, and many many new images in the book now. — don Posted via email from Now This is Cool… | Comment »

The new site is under construction. We are having some JQuery/Css issues but they are easily ironed out.I had a question to my blog about why I constrain the width of my websites to 960 pixels instead of letting them stretch across the screen (referred to as ‘variable width’). It gave me an opportunity to discuss all that I am thinking about when designing a web site. I am not simply...
