Hi Aaron,

On the simpleviewer pages, your heading looks a bit disorganized, and squeezed together. Maybe you can find a way to make the pages look a bit more "designed" than the way they are? It sort of looks like you took your logo image, dropped in some text forthe navigation, and dropped in simpleviewer, then called it done. Also I'd spring for the extra $10 or so to get the version without the simpleviewer ad on it.

well... your a photographer, yet it takes several clicks for me to see any of your work.

your splash page should have one of your best images. as soon as someone enters your site, they should see more of your work, right off the bat.

I'm not a big fan of splash pages to begin with. Your logo is prominently displayed on the main page and that makes the splash page redundant and an unnecessary extra click away.

I gave up waiting for the second page to load. It was well over 2 minutes.

It does load much faster. Makes it much nicer. I still don't understand the need to have an opening/logo page when the logo is virtually identical on the home page anyway.

Splash pages are fine if it's an index with links to multiple websites...perhaps one for each genre that you do or one for the blog, and one for the website itself..ie making a choice. However, splash pages are useless when they only go one place - the place you could and should go without that splash page - when you click on them.

I agree with the others on the header navigation. It shouldn't take two rows.

I would like to see an About Me page to get to know you a little bit.

You have some excellent images though.
