One last thing. Site is nice and simple and effective and I definitely like it. The only other thing that's not that great are the forwards/backwards arrows for projects. When I see those, I think they are going to present additional project-specific images, not take me to the next project. It's extra confusing because when the image is enlarged, there's no title and category displayed. So using the arrows, there's no context on what I'm looking at like there is if starting from the grid.
If you can add titles and categories to the enlarged image, do it. If you can't, take the arrows off and force people to close it, and select another from the grid view.

What mg33 has been saying. Plus, your car shots need some retouching.

nice work man. Is this hand coded or did you start with a template?

Nice looking site! I really like the thumbnails, rollovers and the typeface is perfect. Black, white and gold is one of my favourite colour combinations and looks good in relation to the surrounding colour images.
I too would recommend retouching your car photos. Mainly the light posts and tree growing out of the roofs and perhaps the parking lot lines. If you're feeling really ambitious I'd also clean up some of the reflections in the car.
I like your beer package design and I think it would be nice to expanded upon that. Breaking it up and showing the logo, typeface, colours, the box that it comes in, tap etc. individually. Displaying the project like brand guidelines in a sense. I've seen other people use this to show their projects and I think it works well.

- why is the magnifying glass on each thumb?
- why does only clicking on the thumb takes you to image?
- why is there only one image per work?
- why are same project in different thumbs?
- why no description?
- why are you not telling people what type of designer you are?
- why are these projects just mix bag of stuff?

The one napkin sketch seems out of place to me. I'd replace it with another project.

All the feedback so far is spot on. These little revisions will improve your site. Good job partner and best of luck. Go get 'em!
