You won't see any MRSlotcar photos...Ernie dumped me...I guess free was to expensive.

Simply keep on doing what you are doing and don't do anything further for Ernie, even when he returns. 

Your gain - his loss, your photos stand by themselves, great work

This makes me sad because I'm friends with both of you.

I personally think this is one big missunderstanding.

A younger fella with a ton more enthusiasum than both of us put together is on Ernie's tail about pics. We're older, relaxing, and enjoying retirement.

Let's please sort this out when you get back from your trip? Allow me a chance to show you.

I've tried to help Ernie look as professional as possible, but in the end, it is his company...he gets to do what he wants with it.  I do think his website looks a little amateurish with the photos being all over the place, but that is his choice!

Having just looked at MRSlotcar's website, I can only say that it looks a mess. The images on the main screen are so low res they are totally out of focus and the whole site looks amateurish. 

Obviously personal opinion enters in somewhere but all my early training was in typographic design and the design here does not say 'professional'

One of my stepsons designs websites for a living and it's all flash layouts and no clear message about the subject matter. It seems to be the way of things now. The cars may be impressive (no more arguments here about design choices about the cars please) but the site doesn't help sell them. Anyone who abandons the sort of quality that Doug offers is not thinking straight.

Thanks Gordon...I tried to argue that point with Ernie, but it is his company...if he wants it to look that way, that's his call.  In my own defense, I asked him what his competitors websites looked like, and shouldn't his look at least as good as theirs?  I guess not, because it now looks the way it does.  Perhaps I've misunderstood the slot car market...toy cars to adults would seem to be VERY competitive.  I guess Ernie is selling enough to not worry about such things.
