I do all kinds of photography (with a little web design as well) and one of the areas for income is doing real estate photography.
The market is changing with our lurching economy so I am building a fresh site to promote this area of my business. I created a CSS sprite and used jquery for a little eye candy on the top navigation. I then had to get Jquery, Mootools and MaxiGallery to play together. I had great help here with this. I tried several different scripts but went with Fancybox which runs via Jquery. It works nicely and has a good visual flourish without looking overdone. Some design elements look better in non IE browsers but it seems to be OK so far.
I also am using Wayfinder for my side navigation where I will add blog like posts on the technology and technique of the industry. I have more content on the way. I also plan on building some kind of register/password system so that clients can download zipped folders containing the images I shoot for them. I uploaded a bunch of photos to get started but I need to do more editing with the galleries.
The site can be checked out at:

I was surprised that this URL was available as it comprises the first three search engine words I could think of. Hopefully I will get a good Google ranking at some point down the road.
