I haven't had the chance to do any shooting lately due to some medical issues but it has left me some time to redesign my website. If anyone has a free moment please take a look and let me know what you like/dislike. I am open to any suggestions!
I hate asking you all to critique it but it has been pretty slow on the forum, though now that spring is knocking on the door hopefully things will pick back up! Thanks
You website held my interest until I had view each of your photographs. You have such a varied photographic intrest and your work is top quality.

I would change the speed of the slideshow to slow it down just a bit--some of your quotes were off the screen too quickly for my taste anyhow.
I would also make the slideshow images smaller. If your intent is to get folks into the site, then I would just whet their appetites with the flash pieces, then dazzle them (as you did me) with your obvious talent by getting them into your galleries.

Your site and your photos are great. I would change one thing: Instead of setting the default format to smugmug, I would set it to either traditional, all thumbs.
Traditional and all thumbs didn't require me to scroll down to see the whole photo, and they put the most focus on the photos themselves.
Nice job!

Thanks everyone for looking and the kind words!
Joe: I have been working on slowing the slideshow down, haven't quite got that figured out yet but it is bugging me too.
Lance: the style seems to be one thing no one agrees on. I left the pull down menu there so visitors could choose their own format. You still shouldn't have to scroll down to see the image though, it is supposed to scale to fit your screen. I will look into that, thanks for the update.
