It’s been awhile since I last posted here on Across the Southwest. In the past five weeks I’ve been very busy keywording and writing descriptions for all of my stock images. I’ll be the first to admit that keywording is a the worst part of the job when it comes to photography, but it is also one of the most essential tasks. Lets face-it, if a buyer (or worse, you) can’t find your work then there’s little chance its going to sell. With that in mind, six weeks ago I set out to keyword all of my images, but what I didn’t plan on at the time was getting the crazy idea to completely reorganize my website.
I’m now displaying my fine art photo galleries separate from my stock database with a new look to that part of the website. The end result is that all of my images can now be efficiently found through a keyword search, and many of my best fine art images can be viewed in one place.
I will continue to add images to both the fine art pages and the stock database as I create new work.

The site looks great Adam. Keep up the hard and demanding work. It’s visible in your photographs what time and effort you have spent. You should be proud. I am.
Thank you so much! Sally and I can’t wait to see you both.
Best,
Adam
Great work on the site and the latest work. Love that pano in the next post! You should know that when reading your feed in goggle reader, the photos don’t appear. Looks like some permission problem with your website? Wanted to let you know, after all the work on the site it can be frustrating if a part doesn’t work and you don’t know it (just went thru that with my new site.)
Keep up the great work!
Latoga,
Thanks for the heads-up about Google reader. I’ll try to figure it out.
Best,
Adam
