Sitephocus January 10 update

Let me start off with wishing our readers a Happy New Year! We kicked off 2010 with our final installment of photos from St. Louis. Sites include the recently opened Citygarden sculpture park designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz, the historic Forest Park, Central West End, Washington Avenue, and a few shots of the Gateway Arch among many others. Below are some photos and you can see these in higher resolution on our Flickr stream (add us as a contact if you have also have a Flickr acct).

The first couple of months of '10 are also going to be busy, yet exciting for us at www.sitephocus.com. We're currently underway with a complete site makeover that will add many features for our users and let's us provide different product options for customers. The biggest feature is the ability to offer pay-per-image for those looking at smaller quantities without long term commitments. A great opportunity that we're also building in will be for contributing photographers. We've yet to hammer out the details, but if you have quality photos of the built environment you'll be able to contribute to the site and get paid when users purchase your photos. If you have an online portfolio or Flickr account, send that our way so we can begin to develop a list of those who are interested. As revisions begin to get more refined, I'll post a few screenshots to give you a taste of sitephocus.com ver. 2.0.

Here's to a New Year!
