"Soon after your perches" - I think you mean purchase.

Your prints are all closer to square than 3:2, but the preview images all looked more stretched than 3:2. I'd make the previews closer to square.

Other than that it looks ok.

Thanks-- i am not a very good speller....

the print size is a problem as i don't want to crop about 80% of my work... i am using 8x10 because that's the size that my lab prints in when they print with the Giclee printing process. i thought a very nice high quality print would help my work look its best. (it is going to be hanging in some ones home with my name on it.)

i have never used mpix or any online printing for that matter, could i get a museum quality print on-line that's closer to 3:2

Find a new lab that's more flexible, and don't offer your work in sizes you don't want to produce.

What Tim said.

And I wouldn't center your payment options around just Paypal.
That payment method is still centered around the eBay crowd, and I'd think most people still want the option of simply Visa, Mastercard, or Amex.
You may want to consider a regular merchant account.

you can pay with a regular visa mastercard etc. with paypal

I hope that works out for you.
I guess what I was trying to say is that many do not have Paypal accounts and have no desire to set one up.

Aside from all that, I really liked your gallery.

You don't have to have a paypal account to pay someone who uses the paypal service. They just enter their card details and it's deposited in your paypal account. People do it all the time with my online print ordering system.

will the 6x6 section was done with a hassalblad and 120 film
the rest has a bit of scanned 35mm slides and the vast majority of the shots where taken with a fuji - finepix s2 pro, and good nikon glass.

i just got a canon 5d classic witch is what i am using now (the blog is full of the 5d Shots.)

While you are doing spelling corrections, I spotted two canvasses, confirmation.
