I guess it's good to be busy...Right? My website has been the same for years. New content for sure but I just got tired of looking at the same O'l stuff. So it's in the final stages of a re-launch!

Assumes our target market has fast broadband and a capable computer (may be a good way to weed out who is not our target market)....maybe.....

LiveBooks semi-custom site. Testimonial flash pages are my design and intro pages are my design. Most other pages based on stock flash templates....Dan

Just some remarks that might help you to improve the website:
The music stops immediately and starts over when you switch between the tabs below. Kind of annoying actually.
Browsing the pictures, I'd prefer to see some smaller clickable examples so I can browse your fine collection faster.
Although my internet connetion is far from slow, it takes a while to load it. I can imagine some potential clients will not take the time to wait. The main thing you want to achieve is show your photography skills, not your web design skills ;) Focus on the pics and not so much on the flashy stuff. less is more :)

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into the music start / stop issue. There are thumbnails if you want to scroll through the images. And I know the site needs a little thinning for performance.....Dan

Thanks! I noticed a Mamiya 645 in your gear. I still own a 645 and love the images that format delivers.....I'm seriously thinking of picking up the Pentax 645D new digital body early next year....Dan

Like the music (I assume it licensed) but I dont like the stop and start of it as i click around. Nit picky but it interrupts an otherwise great experience.
