Default A little critique never hurt anyone... right?

Please... I'd love to have as many people chime in on my website. I'll be going to agencies with it so don't be shy! I usualy fix issues stat so if you see one let me know and I'll take care of it. I love what I do and and I think it shows in my work. I don't cut corners or take the easy way. So if you have somethng to say PLEASE say away!! Please all I ask is you enjoy the site for what it is. Thank you,

a road to greatness... or a fall from fever and pitch!

1: First impression: What boring images. Especially the one in the middle. What is he? Fourteen? With a cheap compactcamera?
2: Don't know what Mil-Spec means. Maybe something with military (found out it means military specification), but the image doesn't show this at all.
3: The title says who you are, but not really what you do. Quite a silly name at first sight. "Image" and "photography" in the same name. Neoplasm!
4: "please disable any popup blockers": Sure thing! Let me just go to settings -> ...

No wait; Never going to happen
5: You link to macromedia? They were bought by adobe over three years ago! Anyways, people get notifications from their webbrowser about missing plugins
6: Get favicon
7: Review typography
8: I go to Mil-spec and get sportsimages. wth?
9: I go to the weddingthingy and get a blank page
10: No. Bloody. Popups.

There wasn't even anything there!?
11: And if you have sound, you read here, and ping! You don't have sound!

The site feels dated, seriously dated. This compounds the issue:

please disable any popup blockers
minimum recommended screen resolution: 1024 x 768 px.
this site requires Flash Player 6 or later.


Never, ever dictate to the user what resolution they should use or what they should do to 'enjoy' the experience. You'll lose that argument. This harkens back to the early 2000s/1990's...

Aim for consistancy in your site, at the moment it's a hotch potch of disparate elements. You have some good images, but nothing in the initial 5 seconds of entering the site entices me to look further.

In other words: you need to go back to the drawing board.

Sorry to be blunt, but either learn how to code a site properly using CSS/HTML or find a designer who can.

Very impressive site. Just curious. Did you have to license the background music?

Eh, why do you post this site yet again? You don't seem to have changed a thing about it in the past four days
