I don't care for flash, music on websites AND when I clicked on your photography link, my browser (FF3) crashed....that's a bad thing. You might want to fix that!

It didn't crash for me, and I have FF3

Interesting. I closed my browser and re-started it and it did it again. :confused:

I checked it using IE7, Opera and Chrome and it works. Anyway, I might want to use a drop-down navigation rather than several clicks to see your work, especially the 'guys' and 'girls' link. I'm not sure about the green background either. Hope that makes sense. :o

I think the text throughout the site is too small. Nice pics though.

I cannot see a full-size photo in my 1024x768 screen. It is out of my screen, but there is not roll bar.

I am having that problem for some reason, let me work up some coding and then we will see.

I love your work. I think the website is great. My only issue is the font you have chosen for your name. IMO it doesn't fit your style of images. It reminds me a lot of "Transformers". I think you should go with a font that is more elemental. It would fit your outdoors shallow focus style of images. I think it would work with the tone of the images better too. Branding is a big deal.


Great Job!

When I click on "Girls" it actually says "Guys" in the header, but shows pictures of girls.

Wedding, or Weddings?

Apparently the music is gone now. That's good.

See, I'm a weird person but I'm sure there are a lot of weird people in the world. In your portfolio page guys and girls are all capitals while couples and wedding are not. And make it weddings as someone suggested. Guys, girls, couples and wedding. It's just wrong. And the font in girls and guys are bigger. It's weird. And also the placing of the font in the weddings and couples are "righter" [is there such a word? I hope you get the idea] than the guys and girls.
Yes, it all bothers me.

Now it is OK :)

nice. my suggestion would be to make the opening image more of a collage of your work rather than a flash gallery. make it static...or if you just have to have action, make the images an instant recognition of the scope of your work. when i load the page the first thing i see is a womans face and think "glamour". set it up so I think "people and portraiture" or something a little broader if that makes sense.

also be good if you got more than just one wedding in your gallery on weddings. if you've done a few then make the gallery include them so people know you have done more.

It is getting much better. The font choice looks good. I would make "Creative Photographer" "Photography" instead. It seems to be the standard that they know you are a photographer, but you do photography. As for the color in the first letters of Creative Photography, I would suggest leaving color out there and if you use color use it in your name. I would make the "photography" smaller than your name as well. You want the main emphasis to be on your name. You can look at my website for an example of this.

I guess I've seen the site after some revisions. I like the font choice and although I didn't get to hear the music... no-music is better than that song that "you" feel represents your work well.

Nothing to turn me away from a site like "Mylie Cyrus" blazing off my computer at work! :)
