Just a bit of fun self-promotion, plus a friendly place for clients to check out their images (rather than wading through my flickr).

Photos are dynamically streamed from my flickr account using Satellite + the flickr API.

Designed and coded by me yesterday afternoon :)

You like?

PS. Yes, I realise the colours are mismatched in Safari. It's the only browser that reads embedded colour profiles, so I'll have to strip the profiles from all the JPEGs...

Technically... well, you dazzled me. Anything you want to provide to explain how you did this I would personally appreciate.
Artistically... Verrrry nice.
Culturally... Irreverent, funny.

Kudos.

Nice, simple and pleasant. The only thing I noticed is sometimes you use capital letters and sometimes you don't. I'm not a big fan of all lowercase, but that is your artistic decision. Just be consistent throughout the site.

Otherwise, I liked it.

Thanks :)

Google up 'Satellite flickr'. Just a bunch of PHP functions which interface with the flickr API. I customised it to display images the way I want it to (basically just stripping it down to the bare minimum).

Other stuff like random images and dynamic Flash text are pretty straightforward :)

It gave me a chuckle then I saw your work, very nice. I find it kind of refreshing with the comedic flair.

Very nice, I really like it. Technically, could you give us a summary of how you did it ?

From a technical standpoint? I explained it a few posts up ^ :)

PHP and CSS to make it pretty.

I read that but I was hoping you'd give a bit more detail. Don't worry though, I know who to pm when I try to make my website ;)

I love it, it's awesome (just like MacGyver actually ;))

My only 2 comments on it would be:

1. Have a link to your contact form in the content of your "shoot me" page in addition to the link in the footer. The "let me make you awesome" sentance would work well for this.

2. I don't have a solution for you, but it's going to be a very tricky site for SEO. Obviously I understand why all of your text is in image form, I don't think the site would work as plain text. Still, it's going to be a bit of a headache for you if people are going to find you by searching.

ps: there are some stunning images on your site!

Like the navigation and look. Great type and word usage!
