I really like the lead in Greg.. Ease of use very nice... For my dial up connection it took a couple minutes to load... Excellent selections! :)

I agree that the load times would be problematic on slower connections. On a cable modem, it worked alright, but the intro still seemed to take much longer than necessary. You have some nice images on there. Overall, the interface is intuitive.

Hi Greg,

You have some very nice images on your site. Unfortunately, it took a while before I got to see them. When I go to a photographer's site for the first time, I like to see samples of their work up front. I learn something about them based on what they consider to be their best work.

I think your opening page would be more effective if it showed one/several of your images, along with your name/company name. I'd save the contact info for your "contact" page. Also, the small text links at the bottom are very hard to read (I missed them the first time).

The IFP3 interface is interesting, but I agree with Susie and Joel that folks who don't have a fast modem are going to spend a lot of time waiting to see your images--and you will lose some of your audience.

Look forward to seeing more from you.

Thanks guys for taking a look. I'll consider your comments along with some others I've received and make a few changes.
