Didn't want to do anything too wild to start with. I have some plans for it but I think I'm going to keep it as is for now.

Great site, Good use of flash as a gallery, good photography, just a couple of pointers.

On the home page, your first images takes to long to download, It's probably a full size jpg with no compression, it's about 400kb, a little big for your splash page, I recommend keeping it the same size, but maybe use level 60 compression on your jpg or high, you won't notice a difference in appearance and will load much quicker.

Also you need meta data on your home page if you want search engines to pick you up. Here's an example from Shutter Stocks website. Every little bit helps if you want to get visitors. Also link you site like crazy, find any and all websites that will link to yours.

It's simple (good thing), classy, and overall very nice. It was a tad slow to load for me though.

I like it, did you design it yourself?

For the most part, yes. I used iWeb for the blank template, but then had to change ALOT of html in order to get the simpleviewer galleries working correctly.

Looks good, I was just going to say, looks like you used iWeb, but you beat me to it. I really like that it is simple and clean. Nice work

It's neat but, the thumbnails are too small to really be a preview of the pictures.
I would prefer the forward/back arrows off the picture and not disappear.

Your gallery looks really good, I love your urban pics, I think they are VERY strong, the plant section doesn't really light my candle though. You obviously like cars (who doesn't! Just trying to remember the model my brother races, I think it's a Plymouth something with a Massive engine!???
