At long last, it's been weeks worth of work, but I'm finally there with it! :D

Once you sit down and archive and manage all your galleries, it makes you realise how much one should handle these things as they go along, and not leave all photos into a big mess to sort out in one go :)

I definitely like the color palette you used - the green without being GREEN! works well for me. Seems like some of the gallery pages go on an on with the scrolling, when you have a lot of pics. Did you consider a more traditional slideshow/thumbnail type of layout?

Hi Dave :)

The pages with lots of images are a bit of legacy from previous instalments of the site - most of the stuff I do these days have a few images to showcase roughly what it's about - too many images devalues the work, I find.

The traditional slideshow/thumbnail type of layout is what I used to have on my old site, but I found it annoying - when I look at a site, for images, I want to be able to see everything instantly. These current generation sites that have flash "Next >" type of layouts are very slow, and dont get to the point quickly enough for me.

Most users don't have the patience to sit there and click to see the next image, so a large scroll bar in the browser is still the quicker solution I find :)
