New Travel Articles - Jan 2010
I finally got around to html formatting, and designing a new articles section. Thankfully
Barb wrote wonderful articles for me to plug into photomatter's Travel articles section.
Stay tuned, more articles and photos are coming! I am looking for a good associate
travel advertiser to add to these pages. If you are looking for exposure - this is the site
for you! Contact me! Check out the articles link at the top of every page, or these specific
links below.

The Sydney Parks, and other historic sites

Photomatter Advertising - Jan 2010
Another change for 2010 at Photomatter.com is the new advertising on the site. The site has
enough content, and traffic to justify this addition. If after you click an ad and you continue on
to the retailer and buy a product - then you are really supporting the site. It costs you nothing
to do this, and I would appreciate you clicking through my site to these top tier retailers . Other
targeted content advertising is going to be added to the site concerning particular topics like
travel. I am leaving the Google Ad Sense up for now, but the content of these ads I have little to
no control over. Therefore, caveat emptor on the Google ads.

I did spend the time to find the finest reliable retailers for these ad placements. Ad content will
also be germane to the topics, articles, and reviews. My intent is to add to the value of the content
here at Photomatter.com

Photomatter crosses the 4 million page hits mark - Dec 2009
I know, web stats can be boring, but little did I know the amount of interest my first website
would get. In the last 25 months, and on December 30th Photomatter passed the 4 million
page hits mark. During this period close to 100,000 unique visitors consumed 360 Gigabytes
of bandwidth. I plan to provide more content in 2010, and I want to thank you for your interest
in my photos, and website.

Nikon Festival Contest - A day through your lens - Nov 2009
Nikon has a cool contest that melds video with capturing a day through your lens. I blended
video from my Canon 5D mark II, and images captured by my Nikon D2X, D300, and a boat
load of Nikon lenses. A limiting factor is the old style flash video format. The contest is
limited to 504 x 284 pixel (low resolution) video entries. So, below are two higher
resolution versions of my entry.

Additionally, there are celebrity judges like Rainn Wilson (Dwight from the Office), and Chase
Jarvis (a famous Photog)...as well as Ashton Kutcher (Nikon spokesperson/actor), and youtube
diva Justine Ezarik.

HTML VERSION HERE - after a right click choice....Windows only.

FLASH VERSION HERE - A higher resolution flash version of my entry.
