When Robert walked in to our shop and presented his ambitions I was somewhat skeptical. Here was an 78 year old house painter who wanted a place to showcase his photography of ranches of the American West. But then he began to show his work and to talk with such animated passion of this land and the people who carry on the great traditions of the cowboys and I was hooked.
We created a photo gallery to display Robert's beautiful photography in three sizes: thumbnail as a visual index for each category; a larger in-page display; and an even larger size using lightbox to give visitors the full effect of each image.
We tied the photos to products in an Ubercart store so that visitors could order prints of various sizes. Robert continues add new photos and will soon start a blog. This guy is entering the Social Media world full speed!
