Well after taking a lot of constructive criticism and helpful tips, I decided to redo the whole website from flash to html (some parts php). I categorized my photos (thanks for that suggestion RoadRunner) and added a working contact form with capcha.

If anyone sees any bugs, non working links, missing images, layout problems, or any thing out of place, could you please let me know? Could I also know how fast each page loads? Thanke...

Thank you very much for checking out the website!

Also, yes I do understand there is only one or two photos for each category. I have yet to add more...

Couple of things I noticed. First off, the first page does take about 5 seconds to load (a bit slower than I'm used to).

When I'm in another page, for some reason I wanted to click on the "Main Menu" piece to go back to the home page. Maybe take that out since it really doesn't do anything.

In the galleries, I wish I could see the pictures larger. Maybe a short script to open a new window to view larger pieces?

On the "About Me" page, the read more link doesn't work. Also, is that a picture of you on the about me page? If not, you might want to either caption it or replace it with a pic of yourself. Also, I wouldn't put in the updates that this version looks cleaner or more professional, just simply state that it has been updated.

Other than that, I thought it looked great. Good images in there too.

Thanks getabetterpic :).

I made the "Main Menu" go to the main page.

You can right click an image in the flash gallery and click "Open in a new window" to see a larger size.

The read me link is not supposed to work yet, I have yet to finish the rest of my life story =P. No, that is not a picture of me on the About Me page, I will replace that with my photo asap. I will deplete "cleaner professional...," thanks :).

Edit: Okay, the "New Layout" update has been fixed.

I think the site looks awesome, very clean and easy to use. The pictures were quick to load up as well. I'd be very happy with it if I were you.
