I think it needs a kick in the arse. Too many photos? Which photos should be removed? Menu redesign?

Please be constructive as well as critical. A simple, "I don't like.", isn't particularly helpful to me.

I like the simple, clean design, but I really dislike the slider navigation. It makes it too cluttered I think. Might just be a personal preference though.

Also, after going through your portfolio, it seems like you're doing all types of photography?? I'm not sure what you're trying to sell.

I am also not a fan of the slider navigation. I would change the logo and text to remove the location information. Also the negative space that is created by the round lens on the top of the page I would change. I am also not sure what your selling. Maybe have a page for what services you offer and possibly a pricing sheet?

Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments and suggestions. Let me ask you this, if I left the slider-nav in place but reduced the image count by menu topic to twelve or fewer, would that be more acceptable, or is the slider simply too much, period? Also, are the images too small?
The regarding the corner logo, by removing my location off the banner aren't I opening myself to geographically undesirable traffic? Thoughts?

Again, appreciate the 2 cents.

Edit: Oh, and you're right, I need to make my market better understood.

I think the picture size if fine. I think the number of pictures is fine too. Hey, if you like the slider, keep it. I just think it's hard to navigate.

I don't mind the slider on the home page, but I don't care for it in your galleries. I would limit the slider on the home page though. The lens "graphic" on your logo is a bit cheesy IMO.
