Warner Schmidt Photography

Hello all!

This is a very exciting moment for me! I have been working for quite some time to build, test, and finally deliver my new website:

WARNER SCHMIDT PHOTOGRAPHY

Please join me in celebrating the launch of my updated website. The address is the same, but the content has changed dramatically!

Enjoy an enhanced and animated browsing experience while viewing portfolio albums. Listen to music as you check out my bio, services, or send me an e-mail via the contact form. Expand your view to full screen, or minimize to suit your needs! My new and updated website is geared towards ease of use while delivering the richest content possible!

Spread the word!

You can find the new site here.

Here’s a preview:

A few users have asked, “How do I comment?”

There are a two very easy ways to do it.

The first way is to simply click on the title of each blog post (highlighted yellow in the image below). This will take you to a page with only one post on it, the one you’ve clicked. At the bottom of the post, you’ll see the comment form. Simply fill it out and comment away!

The second way is to click on the “comment count” below the title of the blog post (highlighted blue in the image below). If there are no comments, this will read ‘No Comments’. If there are five comments, it will read, ‘5 Comments’. You get the picture!

We found a small bug and have corrected it; gallery display issues have been resolved.

Thank you all for your patience!

Unfortunately, I have had some reports of people having trouble with both public and client galleries on my website.

After some investigation, I have determined the cause and am working on the solution.

Please be patient while this issue is being fixed. If you need to access your galleries immediately, please either use the first generation client area or contact me.

I’m proud to say that my photography has been featured on the cover of Vertical Thought magazine. I just received my copy yesterday and am truly in awe with the magnitude of the opportunity.

If you’ve been following the blog, you’ll notice that I’ve published several other entries tracing the genesis of the opportunity and how it came to be.

Thank you all for your support! Thank you to the VT staff!

Vertical Thought Magazine; April-June 2011 Issue; Cover Image by Warner Schmidt

I had another opportunity today to communicate with the Vertical Thought staff and see the proof for the issue.

Despite VT having chosen one of my least favorite images from the set I submitted, I have to admit that I am incredibly pleased with the turnout of the magazine cover.

Taking the right cover image was a different task than I am used to. With portrait and wedding photographer, most of the time, the subject is the main focus (no pun intended) and fills much of the frame. In photographing images for the cover of a magazine, I found myself constantly checking and rechecking the photos to make sure there was enough room for the image and text to coincide.

Once again, I’d like to thank VT for the opportunity as well as thank everyone for their support! I’d also like to throw a special thank you out to Shaun, the designer for VT, who did a phenomenal job on the arrangement of the VT cover.

VT staff and I have been communicating and today the initial image selection has been approved. I’ve sent the full resolution image and the designer will start arranging the cover!

This is an exciting process and I am thankful for the opportunity. Thanks VT!
