nice work, indeed. did you anti-alias your text? seems like lots of people are reverting to a vertical page when it comes to showing off your work. which is cool i guess. just an observation.
i might bump the size of your name up and move your contact info somewhere else.
id also line up your work pictures up with the line bar and the title of the piece.
nice light, professional feeling. good work.

Great work, very nice stuff you have in your portfolio.
I think it works well for what your trying to accomplish (all info on one page).
The following are just a couple of things I think might make it more useable:
1. the text at the top would be better as HTML, maybe 10pt. If you insist on using anti-aliased fonts then maybe bump the point size up a bit. It looks a little sloppy because it's blurry.
2. to enlarge the pictures, drop the pop up idea.. afterall the goal was to get all your things on one page, why pop up more windows?
To accomplish this, you could have the user click on the thumbnail, which would replace the 4 thumbs with the larger version... to go back to thumbs, simple click the enlarged image and your back again. Or, after the user clicks through each enlarged image (like they do in the pop up) they are brought back to the 4 thumbs.
3. not really necessary, but something to think about...
Your grid will allow you to free up another colomn next to your images... in addition, if you utilize the colomn that you have the magnify click in, you'll have a nice two colomn width to go into a bit more depth on the project. It's nice to keep it short and simple, But adding maybe 4 or 5 lines of descriptive text could really help the viewer appreciate the piece more, a bit of your process, and how it satisfied the intended goal.Your work is very strong, so of course the interface needs to play secondary to it... simple and clean.

One other thing which may just be nitpicking-
The website thumbs would look better if they were situated in a real life setting... like on a monitor, etc. Similar to how you have you other work displayed (CD's, etc.) I would say the same for your identity package. Maybe laid out on a nice wood table or something. It just doesnt look consistant with the other work you have on there.

" the anchor tag jump threw me off and i didn't know how to get back to your work" but then i realized there was a link just above the magnify glass : )seriously nice work. very nice job.
