people on NT are just too mean these days...and it's getting but only worse...
learn to appreciate..
criticism is good as long as it is constructive blabla, youz know that already, but the ways people criticise things here are just scaree and often seem to originate from jealousee or ignorance?
carty isnt a 100% webdesigner,
he's a 101% kickyourarse fotographer.
that's a brave+good move of him to design his own HTML site..be supportiv.and to the whoever has got automatic dishwashah?! good ...for yah! u then hav more time to click click but click
peace.
love.

it took alot for me to finally get this online... although i didnt spend alot of time on it, i really just want this as a vehicle for seeing the work. for me its all about the work, no bells no whistles.
finally you can save shit you like, and almost all of these are new scans...

the work looks nice but
1. it doesn't look like a "magazine" to me.
2. a list preview/thumbnails will be nice, personally i close my window after 10 clicks or so.
3. why don't you put your email link(text) besides your phone no? not everyone will click on the phone no to seek for the email...

isn't it a portfolio site should be more straightforward and accessible for non-design viewers?

Nothing quite like a woman in a g-string with a french manicure. Thank You.

No one needs directions when looking at a magazine or book because it is obvious what it is. Not to mention that a book has had the same navigation for centuries. Clicking on the right side isn't obvious.
Your site doesn't look like a magazine or book. It looks like a landing page with your name & a phone number. Now the email link is even more hidden. Makes me think you would rather people call, which makes sense, but if you are viewing a website, you would think the person had an email. I have never seen a phone number be a link to an email. It's that new-age thinking method I guess.
My nephew is 14 and has made a more complex website that this. The fact that you are a photographer doesn't mean you are not capable of developing a decent navigation system. A traditional one would have been enough. This is in the first chapter of any HTML 101 book. Not to mention that you can do this in imageready in like 20 min after you have the template created and the images scanned. You probably would spend more time cleaning up any images that need cleaning & figuring out where the phone number is going to be then coding this. Why is it such a big deal?
Thankfully the guy can take a good picture and his name is Carty. Or else, this website would have been ripped to shreds. It is amateur webdesign/development at best. But then again, he takes pictures. Not to mention that the design of the site is the same as his flash website. Who did the initial design?
I'm not trying to be a dick... =)
I think their could have been a few additions that would have made it a good website. Right now it is just a slide show. Yahoo offers the same service.
It is clean & simple. The pictures are good. Just saying I'm sure it isn't the biggest achievement in this photographers life to have built this website.
Also, why did you ask our opinions if you really didn't want to hear them. Not that it matters since you are not trying to have us hire you, but I think some of the people here have said some constructive things. Take it how it comes. If I started to take some unfocused pictures that didn't have enough light and didn't use the correct shutter speed, I am sure you wouldn't say it was the greatest thing in the world. Even if it was my first time.
I think you have been around enough people who do this for a living to know a thing or two about developing a site.
Again, it's good for you that you take good pictures. Just my opinion.

all the helpful comments i utilize. the non helpful ones i ignore..
the splitting hairs, i aint got nothing going on so i got time to be a critic... which is usually because they are the worlds best web designers...unfortunately.. for those that know.. get me a little tweaked... [tweek]
but really... who cares...
anyways... freshmode... please....
anything that you could do to make me cooler would be appreciated.
by the way... im not a designer... but i played one during the construction of this website... sorry that it caused such a stir.
