As stated on his website, "Paul Markham has been shooting legal teen porn for decades, longer than his models today have been alive". His photography has been in a plethora of Teen magazines including 18+, Barely Legal, Teenager, and Eighteen and now he's got an internet paysite at PaulMarkhamTeens.com where he features all of his work from the past 15+ years. Here you'll find a truly massive amount of pics (over 200,000 it looks like) and videos (nearly 400) containing both softcore posing and hardcore action along with some short commentaries from Paul on the shoots and the girls in them. You might recognize a lot of the girls here from other sites since Paul's a well-known photographer in the adult business and sells his content to other paysites. Anyhow, looks like a huge amount of stuff to go through, so let's dive right in and get started.
Logging into the members area, you'll find everything divided up into big categories like Teenage, Couples, Amateur, Big Tits, Interracial etc. It seems like some of these would overlap (i.e. a teen with big tits, amateurs engaging in interracial), but maybe I'll figure that out as I explore the site further. Anyhow, at the top of the page there's a menu with some of the same categories but you can sort them further using a drop-down menu (for instance, boy-girl sets in Teen, girl-girl sets in Amateur). There's still another menu down the left-hand side which contains a few more categories (anal, blondes, double penetration, to name a few) so make sure you check out all of your sorting options if you're having trouble finding something. One thing that seemed to be missing here is a general model index which would list all of the girls on the site with maybe a preview headshot. I usually use an index like that whenever I'm approaching one of these big megasites like this. On the plus side, they do have everything linked up and cross-referenced in each shoot so when you find a girl you like, you can easily surf on over to the rest of her content. You'll also find that you're able to sort each section's content by age and best/worst rated sets, which is cool. Lastly, they provide a pretty cool search engine that lets you scour the entire site (or just specified sections) based on lots of parameters including the type of content (pics, vids, or both) and subject matter.
Checking out the pics, it looks like Paul offers a few ways to view them. You can either check out the sets in typical gallery format, as a slideshow, or you can download the entire set as a zip file. Everything (gallery, each individual pic) opens in a new window which can either be annoying or convenient depending on your tastes. Size-wise, you have three options: small (400 x 600), medium (600 x 800), and large (800 x 1200). Actually, browsing around further, it looks like the older galleries only have the 400 x 600 and 600 x 800 options. Anyhow, the quality here is good to great. Obviously, Paul knows what he's doing and the pics are professionally shot so you expect things to look nice. Of course, there's some variance depending on the age of the pics. Some of this stuff goes back quite a few years (especially in internet time), so you'll see some graininess or loss of quality in some of the older pics. Overall though, you can't really complain; the dude's a very experienced photographer and he knows how to make things look nice while maintaining an amateur vibe to the pics.
The videos here are all organized together in one place, so it's easy to get at them. There's a big Videos link in the categories on the main page and in the top menu or you can also use the search engine to check them out. Once you've selected a video from the listings, you'll find you have several viewing options. If you just want to watch the clip stream, the full vid automatically begins to play embedded in the browser window after you reach its main page. At the bottom of that page there are also links to download/view either a sample of the video, the full video, or various smaller clips. I like this setup as it pretty much covers all the bases. It looks like the movies are all in WMV format and most of them appear to be pretty long at around 20-30 minutes. Like the pics, the quality of the vids varies to some extent depending on the age of the footage. It all looks pretty good though. The older clips weigh in at 384 x 288 at around 500-600Kbps. These are clear and well-lit, but they get rather pixelated if enlarged too much. The more recent stuff is large at 512 x 410 with a nice bit rate of 1.06MBps. These look better and are clear and nicely lit as well, but didn't seem to totally live up to the specs to my eyes. You can bump 'em up to full-screen without much trouble though.
As far as subject matter, there's a real mix of stuff here. As evidenced by the categories on the main page, the pics and vids contain everything from glamour-style softcore posing to masturbation with toys to blowjobs, boy-girl fucking, interracial, and anal. Other than the fact that they're all coeds and for the most part pretty darn hot, the girls here are pretty varied as well. There are blondes, brunettes, redheads, big boobs and small, curvy girls, and petite hardbodies, model chicks and girl-next-door types. Really a huge variety here to choose from.
Other than the pics and vids, there's a jokes section and an erotic story archive, but the real focus here is obviously the enormous amount of photographic and video content available, not some extraneous bonus features.

If you're a fan of Paul's photography or coed content in general, Paul Markham Teens is definitely a great place to spend some time. The content is high quality, the archive huge, and it looks like updates come in on a daily basis, which is awesome. Like most megasites, there's not much interaction here (although there's mention of a message board on the main page that I could never find. Maybe something planned for the future?). Other than that, the only problem you might have is that most of the stuff's not exclusive so you may have run into some of it before. The archive so huge though, it's doubtful this should be much of a problem. Overall, definitely a must-see for fans of teen content.
