Overview:
So many distinguished photographers have worked for Penthouse that it can be a little hard to keep track of them all. Luckily for his fans, Earl Miller holds the great accomplishment of being the magazine's most published photographer. It seems that Mr. Miller has grown frustrated with the print medium as he now turns his attention to the World Wide Web. Miller is so dedicated to providing his fans with some great hardcore glamour porn via this website that he's even named it after himself. Earl Miller dot com aims to be your one-stop shop for "luscious lips, perfect pussies, awesome asses, and long legs", providing its members with "over 100,000 hi-res images" and "hours and hours of hot XXX videos". The webmasters seem very proud of the recent revamp they've given the site, so let's log in and see if it lives up to their bold boasts.

The site is quite nicely designed but still looks like it's stuck in 2000; I'm not overly hesitant to say that it's due for another design revamp in the near future. It is, however, very functional and user-friendly. The main members' page gives you many browsing options, including a list of the most recently added material that's located just beneath a large Shoot of the Month display that showcases a featured gallery. On the right side of this page, you'll find navigation shortcuts to Amateurs, Centerfolds, Pornstars, Threesomes, Girls on Girls, Hardcore XXX Sex, Penthouse Collection, Behind the Scenes, Guest Galleries, and Random Shit. There's also a menu bar at the top of this page that will point you to Photos, Movies, Extras, Blog, Store, Links, and a text-based drop-down list of every model on the site. But wait, there's more! Some randomly selected videos and galleries are shown right at the bottom of the page, well, above the handful of banner ads, that is. The best way to find content on a site such as this is usually to check out the model index. In this case, you've got a number of categories that the models are sorted into. Let us then check out (cue thinking music from Jeopardy) Centerfolds!

When you hit one of the model index pages, you'll be greeted by six of the most recent photo and video updates, just like you were on the main page. Under each list is a link to check out the full collection of photo or video content that features the type of woman you have selected, in this case, Centerfolds. Each gallery is shown here by way of a teaser image, picture count, the model's name, the date it was first added to the site, and a short summary of the shoot. Clicking through to the gallery proper, you'll find a fully featured page that gives you 24 of the shots to choose from, each one represented by a thumbnail image; incidentally, you can choose to display small, medium, or large thumbs thanks to a little menu at the top right of the gallery page. Clicking the Next link will bring you to the second, third and fourth pages - pretty simple, really. Once you've selected an image, it will open up in your current browser window at the smallest available resolution, which, for newest content, is a grand 700x1054 pixels. To opt for the higher res version, you just click the Big link. By clicking on the image itself, you can also reach the largest image. Also at the top of the gallery page is a link labeled Download Set, which will save a zipped archive of the entire gallery to your hard drive.

As you would expect from someone of Miller's reputation, the photos are exquisite. If you like the style of photography shown in mags like Playboy, Hustler, and Penthouse, then you'll love the pics shown in these galleries. The women look simply stunning and the great hi-res pics showcase their amazing bodies in incredible detail. I'm generally a bit apathetic when it comes to this photo style but Miller has definitely shown me the light. I wonder if he can deliver such high-quality videos?

Videos are to be found by using the same method you did to find that juicy photo content. Once you've found a girl, picked a scene, and clicked it, you'll end up at a page that shows you all your viewing options, High speed WMV, MP4 optimized for iPod/iPhone, high speed MOV, and Flash video. Not only can these formats all be downloaded, but they can be streamed as well. This is one of the most convenient video features I've found on a porn site. Once you click on a format link, the page will reload, now with a streaming version of that format playing right before your eyes. Once you're satisfied with your choice, you can download that exact same video by right-clicking (control-clicking on a Mac) the provided link. Server speeds seem very high and downloads transfer quite quickly. Resolutions are pretty solid for each of the formats, and are as follows: WMV at 720x400, MP4 at 480x320, MOV at 720x400, and Flash at 600x400. While they could definitely stand to be a little bit higher, closer to the size the photos are now shown in, these videos still look pretty decent. Most of the content is hardcore, even if it only involves a woman masturbating with a dildo or vibrator. There are a lot of straight and lesbian fuckfests to feast your eyes on, so don't worry about that. The directors always place emphasis on the gorgeous physiques of these fine specimens of womanhood, and that makes the videos very easy on the eyes.

Membership to Earl Miller's site will cost you $29.95 per month, or you can get a small discount by signing up for three or six months at a time. I know you're wondering what else you get for your hard-earned smackaroos; well, let me tell you. The Extras section of the site - also known as Random Shit, currently only features two galleries, compilations of close-ups and butt shots. The Blog section, however, is full operational and gives members a unique insight into the mind of Earl Miller, "artistic pornographer". What the blog doesn't do, however, is update. The most recent post was way back in November of 2006 and it's unclear as to whether Miller has moved on to another blog/journal or just can't be bothered updating anymore. That's it as far as extra features go, my friends. Now it's time to polish this review off and leave you to your own devices. Just remember that I'll always be here to guide your mousing hand as you search high and low for the best porn on the net.

Pros:
- Mr. Miller's simply a brilliant photographer and the work shown here is easily some of the best glamour porn I've ever seen.

- Delicious pornstars and hot hardcore action. What else could you ask for?

- There are a nice variety of video formats on hand for all kinds of users.

- Quality and quantity are equally important, as far as I'm concerned, and you'll find both are very pleasing on Earl Miller.

Cons:
- The site has such a large amount of content that it'd be greatly benefited by some additional browsing and searching features.

- Video content on the site is a little disappointing. If only Miller had as much dedication to producing great moving images as he did still ones.

- At almost 30 bucks, the price of membership is a little too high. Knocking $5 off would guarantee an influx of new members.

- Earl Miller seems like a pretty cool cat, which is why I was so disappointed to see that his blog hasn't been updated since late 2006. There are some good reads on there already, but it'd be awesome to keep them current.

Conclusion:
Earl Miller, my hat goes off to you. You've jumped from the sinking ship that is print media and dedicated your wonderful talents instead to the world of online pornography. I'm also impressed that you've changed your occupation from "erotic artist" to "artistic pornographer", as it shows what a firm grasp you have on what the people want. I also commend you on your thoroughly enjoyable site, its wealth of content (both photo and video), your great skill with a camera, and, of course, your impeccable taste in women. How on earth do you find such exquisite beauties? I do have a few small, niggling issues that I'd like addressed in the near future, if at all possible. Firstly, your videos need to be available in High Definition. It's a crime to let women like these be shown only in 720x400 pixels. It'd also be great if you had someone redesign your site, making it more modern and streamlined. Aside from that (and your high asking price), I'd say you've done a beautiful job, Mr. Miller. Simply beautiful!
