Beautiful! Loads fast and it's informative too. My only negative criticism is that I personally don't like to scroll especially when there seems to be a lot of unused space on both sides of many pages. My screen resolution is 1024x768 and you might need what you have for 640x480 or Web TV -- I doubt that many users of these resolutions would be going to your site tho.

yes - i struggled with the vertical scrolling but every time i tried to eliminate it the look i got was not as "clean" as i want
appreciate the feedback...j

jonnyhorizon,
I like the site, as well as your photos. I was wondering what software you used. I am currently using photoreflections.com, just for the easy uploading and the access to their credit card processing. But the software doesn't provide any way for me to be creative in the layout of the site.

I like the site. :)

I just miss one thing - the 'next' button in galleries. Thumbs have too small resolution to give me sufficient information to decide if I like this or not, so to go through the gallery I have to click the first one, click the back button, click the second, back button, third, back, fourth, back... mouse here mouse there click click...

Besides, I think if there is a 'next' button, people will tend to go through more or even all of the images.

My $.02
