Really nice photography. Gave me a glimpse into the people of New York having never been there. I'll keep looking through now.

Welcome to 2009 with that blog.

- Don't mind utopian. It must be so frustrating for him to tolerate the rest of us.luckyorphan

Utopian - I know, I frequent some sites and all people do is promote and disappear. Hoping to visit here often and have gotten some good feedback already. Will try to keep self promotion to a respectful level.nbreslow

Very nice collection. It's great to see someone with more than one skill. Couple of quick thoughts:
Edit your photography down. 212 images in your 'All' and 'Recent' categories is way too much, and it suggests to a potential client that you can't decide which is good and which could use improvement.
Your sketches are good, but watch your anatomy in certain fashion illustrations. Some nail it – others are a little wonky.
Also, either add more to your Characters section, or lose it altogether. Two images suggests you're padding your site to just be able to have another section. Instead, I'd keep it to your one all-encompassing 'Illustration' section as you have currently.
Oh, one more thing – great bubbles. Keep it up.

Yeah I like the work, too categorised for my liking.

Not sure if it's a 'font-face' issue, or if it's on your shoulders (coding), but there are some really funky kerning / missing spacing / bold text stuff in some of the text sections (see example below).
I was viewing it in OSX / FF3.5.5, by the way.

- Thanks for the heads up. I thought I had tested this out but I guess the spacing/weights just look like crap on some peoples systems. I fixed it now - thanks for the heads up.nbreslow

I like your stuff but overall too many categories, clicks and buttons everywhere for my taste.

@luckyorphan - thanks so much for the comments. I appreciate them all and will take them to heart. I was a bit enthusiastic and added too many photos/categories/etc. I am trying to transition my career so I felt compelled to show as much as I could. I think in the process I did some overkill. I will prune it all down in the coming days. And thanks for the illustration comments too - fashion figures are a bit wonky. Will choose the best ones and chuck the rest.
