Like others have said, your last site was really great so I don't want to compare this one to that.
I like minimal but this may be a bit too minimal. Perhaps just adding a persistent logo with color would do the trick. Would be nice to get info on what things are too, without having to do an additional swipe. The minimal thumbnails just doesn't do enough for me (I see thumbnails but I don't know what it is). In order for me to find out what it is, it requires me to do 'work' and use my time up (just thinking from a potential client's perspective). Would be nice to quickly glance and find something out and or be able to browse to something specific without having to browse through everything, if that makes any sense.
Not crazy about the navigation for the site (it probably works great on mobile though). On a desktop, took me a bit to figure out I had to swipe to get to another section (I'd imagine clients would have an even harder time figuring that out). I know there's that animated wireframe of how to navigate the site but realistically, do you want users to have to sit through that (background) animation just to figure out what to do? Plus, it's kind of cheesy (almost reminiscent of those old animations that had a mouse cursor moving to a button and showing it clicking on the button). Also, I had no idea there was another page of thumbnails (until I said what happens when you swipe horizontally). I'd imagine most people would do the same.
I REALLY like how responsive it is though.
You're so mysterious. Would be good to know who paul at socket studios is. An 'about' section is always nice to have. It's probably one of the first sections I go to after I check the work out.
I dig the subtle touches of color (how the lil circles match some of the colors in the work images).
Not crazy about all of the gray either, perhaps it's a lil too much gray. Makes me sad :(
