Hey guys, I'm a long time fan/lurker around here (been a little active in the music threads) and in need of some feedback on the design of my photo site.
I've read past crit threads so I know what I'm getting into, haha, but along with the brutal remarks I've also seen some really quality feedback from some people.
I'll take either one. :)

Great images! I am not a pet person(at all), but the pet photos are really interesting.
My only hangup is that i would to see the people photography broken down into more usefully descriptive sub-genres. I think I am reacting to the fact that you are not presenting a cohesive set of images. It feels very unfocused.
I am also a photographer, and I think our main weapon in presenting our work is using theme and image selection to create a narrative.
That said, my site could use a little more focus too, lol.

Type could use more thickness for readability

other than the too-quick thumbnail nav issue that has been mentioned - you could develop the: "people" "people" people" section titles better, possibly: portraits, fashion, events? i'm not suggesting they need to be exactly these suggested titles, but they could be focused a little bit

I completely agree with you both on the section titles and initially struggled trying to decide on names I felt summed up all the photos in each gallery. They are technically broken up into Portraits, Glamour, and Music but I think I started overanalyzing things and decided on three sections of People.
Thanks for the good feedback. I'm going to change those section titles once I decide on new names.

The second section of photos aren't really fashion and I kinda hate the word "glamour". I considered "beauty", but felt it sounded a little shallow.
Any other/better words for glamour?
- fashion********
- I vote fashion. Also, IMHO the first two images of kids are not nearly as strong as the rest of people Iepigraph
- fashion
