Nice looking but you need content on the home page, along with your internal menu and better alt text for the images, your page titles need to be fixed as well. about isn't something someone will search for. Right now your site has a good look but it wont rank at all. It falls in the category of nice looking but no one will see it.

I followed the advice of Squarespace, the hosting service I am using...

You didn't follow it correctly. There is nothing wrong with an about page but you don't want just a picture on your homepage that links to your about page (that should be menu driven, which you have, but not on your home page), you also don't want to name your other pages "about" (which you did). Hope that makes sense.

Derrick in regards to Squarespace...

Thomas Heaton is a landscape photographer out of the UK and uses Squarespace. He has a Youtube channel that he posts this adventures in Landscape Photography.
I saw the video of the picture that is on his Home Page and it was great watching and learning. He is currently finishing up a photography group tour in the Patagonia
Region in South America.

Thanks for the headsup, I will take a look at His site. I am building a pro photographer site this week for my daughter on Squarespace as well.

I guess it didn't last...domain is no more. :-(

Well the SEO of the dcmrblueridge.com website must be working, Google analytics sent me an email saying 10,000 key word searches last 30 days found the link to the website, now getting them to click that link is another matter.
