Last night I had the opportunity to spend some quality time with my wife and daughter. We spent the beautiful evening down at Waterfront Park for the Kentucky Derby Festival Balloon Glimmer. The Balloon Glimmer is an annual event where participants of the Great Balloon Race come down to the Great Lawn and inflate their balloons for everyone to see. It is quite an impressive sight!

The photo was featured on WAVE3 news last night at 11:00 and is supposed to be on again tonight at the 6:00 news. Check it out if you have a chance.

My new website uses the latest technologies in web development.  If you are a Windows user, it is highly recommended that you view this site with Internet Explorer 7 or above.  If you are using a previous version of IE, some of the functions of this site might not load correctly and you may not be able to view all areas of the website.  You can upgrade to IE7 for free by going to www.microsoft.com and downloading the latest version of IE.

If you are using a Mac, you will be able to view the site without any problems.

I have been having some BIG problems with my old web development and hosting company.  It got so bad, I had to start from scratch and create a new site.  Unfortunately, my old hosting company wasn’t cooperating and they did not release my old domain, www.mattdurstphotography.com.  So, I had to change my site name to www.mdurstphotography.com, which will be my new home going forward.  In the end, I think this will be great!  This site has a lot of new extras that the old site couldn’t handle.

First, and best of all, I am now able to offer a shopping cart in all my client proofing galleries.  No more order forms!!!  You will be able to add pictures to the online cart while you are looking through your proofs.  This will be much more efficient and make the ordering process a whole lot easier.

Second, this website is a hybrid blog / flash gallery.  So instead of having a separate blog and website like my old site, they are combined into one integrated site.  This will allow me to do several things.  One, I will be able to keep up to date with my sessions and offer sneak peeks a few days after the photo session.  Secondly, I will be better able to communicate with my customers, offer deals, specials, and coupons, and offer opportunities for special sessions.  Speaking of which, be on the look out for a post about an upcoming holiday portrait session.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to stop by to check for updates and specials.  Do forget to check out my Facebook page or subscribe to my RSS feed so you never miss a thing.
