New Website...
There's a new website for Brian McLernon Photography this summer! It's been up for about a month but I thought I would mention it here to get some feedback. Since I learned HTML, I've enjoyed writing my own pages and coding. I like having the control and being able to update my page whenever I want instead of having a webmaster do it on a schedule. All of the portfolios have been redone with Flash and David Ladd of Quik Internet wrote me the nice rollover code for the opening page. I want to get as many photographs in front of a visitor as quickly as possible, without them having to click anything! Give it a test drive and let me know your thoughts, ease of use, smooth flow, etc. Thanks!
Started off the day with this shot of my backyard, then headed out to Hillsboro to shoot Tom Cox for Metro Council, walking in the 4th of July parade. Headed home to set up our first-ever block party-cookout on our front lawn. The kids decided on "Monsters, Inc." for the pre-fireworks movie (rear-screen projection via laptop and projector) and even the adults got into it! After dark it was time for the light show! A great time was had by all, already planning next year's!

Often I'm asked to be a guest speaker for art associations, communication/business groups and I always enjoy speaking to student groups as well. When not photographing in the studio or on location, I have fun with my wife and daughter, family and friends, camping, traveling, rafting, cross-country & downhill skiing, and photographing nature & motorsports!
