Welcome to gparr.com


I've owned this domain for several years and have never really done anything with it in terms of a website, other than use it as a testing/experimenting tool in my attempts to help others. I decided it was time put something legitimate on these pages, primarily so I could share my photography and reef hobbies with those who are interested. Following the recommendation of my friend Dan Romanchik, I've set up this site using PMWiki so it will be easier to update.

I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. My paying job is publisher of Commercial Building Products and Specified Lighting Design magazines. They're both business-to-business publications. Also, if you need a website developed for your business or have one that needs upgrading, contact me at gparr@webpublishinggroup.com or Dan Romanchik at danr@webpublishinggroup.com or visit the Web Publishing Group website.

This website, however, is about photography and reef aquariums, i.e., what I do when I'm not producing magazines. As I develop the content for this site, my initial efforts will focus on my photography. As I can get to it, I'll offer information about keeping reef aquariums.

Photography articles are forthcoming, but the primary photography content will be my photos, which can be seen and critiqued in the albums of my gallery. I'll be adding photos as fast as I can, so keep checking back to see new ones. If you have interest in reef aquariums, corals, or coral reefs in general, you can see my reef-related photography in the Reefs album.

I hope you come to find this new site informative and enjoyable. I'm always open to feedback. Let me know what you think by sending e-mail to gparr@gparr.com.

Put Some Support Under Your Camera

If you don't own and use a tripod, you need to buy one and make it a regular part of your photography. Once you start using a tripod, you'll see a marked improvement in your images.
