Hi friends, I'm looking for your opinions...
I want to clarify that I am both a graphic designer and photographer and that some of the photographs in the posters I've designed have also been shot by me.
I added a new section titled "Entertainment photo" but not sure it's clear enough. Does this make sense to you guys or is there a better way?

Links on left desperately need rollover state, feels static and broken.
Lovely work!

While I have always loved your work, and your new found passion for movie posters, I do think you could benefit from a brand update yourself. The cowboy logo and simple font navigation seem outdated and slightly amateur for your current status what you currently execute.
- I agree********

- thanks, been considering it but haven't had a chance to execute any ideasJG_LB
- I only say this because I think your work is worthy of being packaged in a finer waymonospaced
- well. maybe we think so cause we're not his target audience. that's just not "just a cowboy".akrok
- I'm just saying that the logo and personal branding don't reflect "designer, photographer" that well, in my opinionmonospaced
- I agree

Nice work dude! Love the movie posters.
Is that Cantinflas? Always wondered :)

Perhaps a brief description about your involvement with each project will help communicate that you both photographed and designed some of the movie posters. Without that, I'd assume that you either photographed all of them, or didn't photograph any of them. I hope this helps. Regardless, the work itself is outstanding. Kudos.

Not a big fan of the scrollbar on the inside of the page next to the navigation, very odd.

oldboy - didnt someone post a rip of that not too long ago?- he posted that Spike Lee used it without giving due creditmonospaced

also, i've been hesitant to put the yelp reviews graphic in the info page but am proud of how hard i work at keeping my clients happy so i want to show that. i do a lot of yelping when i'm going to spend money so i figured i'd add it but have never seen it on other freelancer's sites. is it dumb?

really nice work! scrolling (unless I fumble with the thin scrollbar on the right) doesn’t work for me either. that being said, I’m on an awfully outdated system / old browser (mac os 10.5.8 / ff 16.0.2).
like others pointed out, too, I don’t like the logo and the navigation (feels outdated) – although your works overpower that quickly, presentation could be more... well... contemporary...
and remove that yelp shit – that’s for pizza delivery services... understandble that you want client testemonials, though – just quote »...« them on your own site!

maybe add what you did on the project on the roll over?

Great work, but all the custom type and photos of celebs, is that your work too?

Too many categories on the left. Maybe it makes sense to you, but the "Comedians" look like portraits to me.
