A guy I used to work with at Hilton in Memphis (and is still there), Peter Conrey, has started a photography business: Peter F. Conrey Fine Photography. He has some great shots on the site, which is very polished; take a look. The blog has some nice pictures of the snow in Memphis.
Internally, he's using the jQuery Javascript library, which seems to be the PHP of Javascript libraries (it's not as clean and consistent as Prototype, and they made some bad decisions early on that they have to live with now for backwards compatibility; as a Word developer, I can empathize). I suggested he provide width and height attributes for his thumbnails to make pages lay out faster.
At time of posting this (early April), his site is down; I hope it's only a temporary issue. The hosting company seems to be TW Telecom Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Littleton, CO, but with a Memphis presence.
I came across a SOAP programming article by Peter while trying to find out what was up with his domain. It's not bad, but why mess with the hulking horror that is SOAP when better alternatives like YAML, JSON, or XMLRPC exist?
