What's New!
Big Developments!!
Lots has happened since my last entry! On June 2, 2008, I will be the featured artist from June through mid-August 2008 at the Carlisle Arts Learning Center in Carlisle, PA!! CALC will be showing 15 "weathered wonders"! CALC is on North Hanover Street.
And, on June 14, 2008, the Haverstick Gallery and Studios, between 6.00 and 9.00 pm, will be holding an opening reception for "Shutter Speed." I will be one of three photographers having their work showcased. The show will run for two to three weeks after the opening date.
Finally, I will be the featured artist at McGuire's Fine Arts Gallery, here on North Market Street in Frederick, MD, beginning on August 2, 2008, running for the following two to three weeks. My work will be taking up almost all the Gallery's wall space!
Please stop by at these fine establishments and take a look at my work up close and personally!!
More new developments!
I have three noteworthy developments to share with you. First, Frederick Community College has hired me to teach Digital Photography, beginning at the end of January! I have always wanted to teach! And, to boot, I'll be teaching a subject near and dear to my heart!
The second thing is that, for a number of excellent reasons, I have chosen to end my relationship with the Museum Shop in Frederick. The pieces that were there now will grace the walls of Beckie Loya's Loya Galleries in Pittsburgh. I wish to publicly thank the staff of the Museum shop for their support, professionalism, friendship, and appreciation of my work.
Finally, speaking of Beckie's gallery, she now has her new Web site up and running. You can reach it at http://www.loyagalleries.com! Please feel free to check out her new Web site, and, if you're in the Pittsburgh area, do your eyes a favor and pay the place a visit!
Thanks, and I hope you and yours had a great Holiday Season and a terrific New Year!

New photos added & new prices on Smugmug site!
I've added a few more new photos to the Featured Photographs page and removed some older ones to make room for the new ones. I also have sharply reduced print prices for all my galleries on Smugmug. And, a special print sale is in progress until January 1, 2008, for all photographs in the Amherst Early Music Festival gallery.
While Smugmug does a very nice job of printing photos, Smugmug prints cannot be compared to the limited-edition, signed, hand processed, fine art giclee prints that you are purchased through this Web site by clicking here.
Site Changes
Today, I added two new features.
First, I added a sidebar containing site indices so that you can get around the site better. Please let me know what you think about them. And, please let me know if you have other recommendations or suggestions to help make this site better.
Second, I added a Google Checkout button to each photograph. This will greatly ease your ability to purchase the prints that you would like. This is a fully secure and very easy to use way to purchase prints. Using it is self-explanatory. If you'd like more information about this service, please click here.
Thanks.

New format!
I got some feedback that the site would better show my photos if I went to a less distracting background scheme. So, this white, cleaner background came to be! Please let me know what you think about the change! Thanks.

Added new photos!
Over the last couple of weeks, I went back to Ford heaven at Al's! I added new shots to Emblems, Handles, and Exteriors! I also added a new International Harvester photo to the Welcome Abstracts pages. Hope you like them as much as I do!
Photographs and new print sizes added! Plus, some exciting news!
I ran across a terrific old Chevy flatbed truck a couple of weeks ago and finally got to processing the photos. I added those new photos to Pure Abstracts, Emblems, Lights, Bodywork, Interiors, and Exteriors. I also added a few shots of an old Thunderbird to Pure Abstracts and Emblems. Finally, I started identifying the new shots in red. They'll stay red for about a month.
I had to share with you a photo of a very inquisitive bee. I ran across the little guy when I was shooting the flatbed. You can find that photo on "The Photographer" page.
You also may have noticed that I changed the Google Buttons. To provide you with more choices, I added two new print sizes and prices: 4'x6" for $30 each and 8"x12" for $75.
Last but not least, I have some exciting news to share with you. Two galleries, one in Frederick, MD, and the other in Pittsburgh, PA, will be representing me and showing and selling my "weathered wonders." I'll keep you posted.

I have a bunch of new photos to add to the Web site. I just haven't had the time to get them posted. I promise that I will have them up soon for your viewing pleasure.
Web site reorganization
I have received valuable feedback from several people about the large amount of photographs on this site. Initially, I thought that including many photographs that are logically organized would help you to locate just the right photograph or photographs that speak to you.
I was wrong. Too many choices made viewing of this site difficult and tedious.
As a result, I have substantially pared down the number of photographs on this site to a bare minimum. The photos that I have chosen to include here are representative of my work. Hundreds of other photos are in my inventory. Of course, one of the photos featured here may be just the one that you were looking for, and you may wish to purchase a fine art print of it.
On the other hand, while you may like that type of shot, you may be looking for something similar, e.g., a different make, model, or colors. You will find many other photographs to choose from by going to my "weathered wonders" gallery at Smugmug. Just click here: www.marcw.smugmug.com.
Please choose the photo or photos that you would like to purchase, note the pages and locations or photo numbers, and go to the contact form on the "How to Buy and Contact Me" page at the top of this page. Please fill out the form. In the "message" field, please identify the photos and print sizes that you would like to purchase. Also please provide me with your shipping address. For other particulars regarding payment options and conditions, please refer to the information on the "How to Buy and Contact Me" page.
Also, please keep in mind that the photographs featured here will be changed periodically. So, please stop by every so often to see what's up!
Thanks, and I hope you like the reorganized site. Of course, I am always interested in your feedback.
