Feeling Pround Wanted To Brag a Little

    Hi

    My nephew who is an aspiring photographer and filmmaker has been bugging me for a long time to give him some space on one of my servers for his website. He had a free domain and wanted to put some of his albums online, I finally bought him a "real domain" and got him started on his site. He just called me and asked if I could look over his site.... the actual design is okay pretty simple but it works.

    I decided to look through his galleries and watched his promo video he has there and I was completely blown away! I can't tell you how proud I am of this kid (he's 22) but a kid to me. I have seen his photography and some of his documentaries before, but this time it really got to me (almost cried!) Take a look at his site, he is pretty shy and doesn't think he is that good, I would love to forward some comments on to him. The video is just a highlight reel of some of the film he has done, but its great.

    Visit it here sabrewalker.com

    Thanks

    Matt

    As a photog myself, I must say that his B&W portraits are absolutely amazing!! I would seriously consider QOOPing those and getting them hung on the wall!

    Tell him to keep it up...he has a long time ahead of him to get even better....just imagine what he'll be doing in 5-10 years. Great stuff!

    Thanks everyone! I showed him the comments and he was very happy, a little embarrased too.

    @PM... first thing I thought of when I was at his site was how to monetize it and milk some cash out of it ;) however I figure it is probably better not to exploit his abilities just yet! (of course I hope he reads my new TOS which says any content residing on the server automatically becomes the proberty of the webhost!) Just kidding.

    Thanks again

    Matt
