Great work, the only thing that bothers me are the different fonts in the menus.
- heh, you would.... I still think Gotham + Mercury are good friends.Scotch_Roman

- What I meant is the two fonts in the dropdown menus.Ruffian

Really dig your self promo pieces. Did you make a bunch and distribute to drum up business, or was it just personal?

You do good work and the site showcases that quite well.
No issues or complaints. Nice job, skt.

cracker, both of you. surprise surprise version3 finds something to fault. Where have you done better?
- kelpie0
anyway, fuck it. Friday night it may be but I'm still off to bed early. Best of luck to you gramme, you're a fine designer and this will stand you in great stead.

really lovely navigation / presentation and work.
only thing i'd do is make the collapsible nav feature a bit more obvious - i would have assumed that clicking on the logo would have taken me back to the start.
also - maybe the viewer should be blank on arrival? on my machine it started with the formica project; and I was a bit confused because I hadn't had to select anything yet

the type in the menu and profile could stand to go a bit larger. very nice though.

I think the photography is pretty good. Some images could be better I agree, but I'm not seeing this blurriness "on every photographed image"...and believe me I've looked very closely at these. A friend shot the work for free. I did 50+ hours of retouching. It's gonna have to do.
- nice shots btw! you owe him/her dinner :)svenreed
- Ha, yes I do :)Scotch_Roman
- images look great - didn't notice any serious blurriness.sikma

at quick glance on a few of the photos I wondered if you might boost the highlights a bit, nothing more

first off: it's beautiful. a real acheivement.
comments: it's slow. not sure if you can shrink the file size on the photos, or get on a faster server, but it's a bit tedious scanning through the work.
It needs better feedback right after a mouse click (because it is slow). Currently it's ~3-5 seconds to load an image with only a small load graphic that's easily lost in the underlying photo. Dimming the photo (or something) right after clicking next would make it feel a lot more responsive.
the nav is crowding the logo a bit IMO.
other than that, totally sweet.
- Might be a bit faster when I switch over to MT.Scotch_Roman
- could be youre getting swamped by QBN too. You still need to address the responsivenessmonNom
- good points monNom, cheers.skt

mag_ruin, any images in particular? There are a few that I might tweak highlights on... just wondering if any stand out to you.
- I'm running out the door, so it'll have to wait till tomorrow, and it might just be my monitormagnificent_ruin
- but it looked like the white point was 5%ish on some (as you would do for print, but for which there is no need onscreenmagnificent_ruin
- seemed like you could just go into the levels pallet and move the white point to the left a bit--super quick adjustmentmagnificent_ruin
