: What do you have a personal web site for?
: Syates November 27, 2007, 11:49:20 PM

Just to show your work, to sell prints from, getting clients for custom work? SY

There is nothing interesting for you guys, just a bunch of page for different sports teams my sons play or fundraizer events my family participates. Nothing fancy, but nobody around can (or want) to do it better than me. And everybody keeps telling me how good I am. Even if I know I'm not that good  my ego pleased.  ;D I'm cheap.  ;D Plus I can always say I have my own website.

No web site with your photography then? Or illustrations? SY

Photos for those teams and events are biggest part of it but my rules are I never open them for public (unless I have a release). I believe in right for privacy a little bit.

SY, if you want to see it  - here (http://www.arkhipovfamily.com/). But most of it hidden.

To be frank I feel  a little bit uncomfortable showing my work here, among professionals, because as I said already I'm an amateur. But nobody forced me to open my mouth.... I was bored housewife a couple of years ago when I got relatively good camera. I'm in since when. Even though I believe I made pretty good progress, my skills are still limited and I can brag at the christmas party in my neighborhood but not here.  :)  Photography is just a hobby for me that pays for itself.

Talya, I don't think you should call yourself an amateur anymore, not with images like this (http://www.arkhipovfamily.com/Portfolio/IMG_10028.html) SY

Mine is not really a personal site - this is the site devoted to the city where I live - the capital of Azerbaijan - Baku . Purely photos of the city, nothing else.
