Announcing the addition of several new Premier Photo Galleries

I’m delighted to share that after a bit of a delay, I’ve finally added a number of new Premier Photo Galleries to my website. Unlike my regular Portfolios which highlight my New Work, Commercial & Editorial or Landscape Photography, these galleries are location or subject-specific image collections. I invite you to take a look at each of these four new multi-page galleries.

I deeply appreciate any thoughts or comments, and also a mention if you find any errors.

If you enjoy the images, one of the best ways to let me know is to hit one of the round Share buttons located at the bottom of the gallery pages.

As for the delay: let’s just say my original ideas for a gallery presentation proved way too complex and time-consuming, taking nearly a month to create a single gallery. After putting off and putting off the pain and time to do another, I finally broke down and asked my web designer to do a little code re-write. A real-life lesson reminder: K.I.S.S. principle applies here.

In the time it previously took to build a single gallery I could now build four. I can’t explain how happy and excited I am to be adding this new material, and already have several more new galleries in the queue.

You can also sign up to receive free updates by email so you’ll know when new images are added to the site.

Thanks for looking,
– Gary. 🙂
