I would appreciate any feedback on my new travel photography website.

There are so many browser/monitor size/resolution combinations out there, that I would be interested in hearing comments about the appearence, speed, ease of use, navigation of the site, from a range of users.

Andrew Newey Photography can be found at http://www.andrewnewey.com

Thanks for you time!

I like it, but you spelled 'unauthorized' incorrectly on your 'copyright' page. Also, in the first sentence you mention the word 'site' but all other references are made as 'website'.

Personally, I don't think mentioning the gear that you use is relative. Most all people don't know the difference between a Nikon D80 to a Mark III 1DS. Your pictures are nice, and I simply feel the customer wouldn't care about equipment. Like 'Hmmmm...I'm not sure I'm going to buy this photo. No wait, this Andrew guy says he uses a Mark II so I guess I'll buy it.'

No what I mean? :D

OK, I am in the U.S. so perhaps there is are vocabulary differences since you are in the UK, but I find it strange when reading the site that you talk in the third person about yourself, specifically on the Biography page. Since it is your site, wouldn't "I, me, and my" be more appropriate? And on the news page, you use "we". Is there more than one of you in the business?

Also, on the contact page, is there a reason you don't provide an address and phone?

As to the equipment list, I don't think it is important but doubt it does any harm.

On the Print Information page it says "Click on the thumbnail to enlarge and display sizing and pricing information from the dropdown list." But when I displayed the full-size images, I was never provided with size and price info, nor was there any drop-down list available.

Wow, you have been around the world :D

I like the portfolio and the navigation is pretty good.

Two minor items
- All the pages are Copyright 2006, is that intentional?
- The "cart" overlaps with the 'V' in View Car on my browser (Firefox on 1600x1200)
