Thank you Set. My post is certainly not intended as spam - I was merely seeking constructive critique of new work
- You didn't even say a word just posted a link. Looked like spam to me.********

Overall, photos are great!
Honest feedback:
Having to click to find the navigation on the homepage felt like an unnecessary step since the page is basically dead without it.
Clicking on Projects only brought me to a set of photographs. Clicking on each only revealed the same photo, leaving me very disappointed that there was not a series for a single one. A project to me is usually more than one image with very little background.
To me, blog posts that are just links to other blog posts are confusing without context as I might be led to believe you may have created something when in fact you are just sharing it.
It feels like you should just show your work under a Photography header instead of under Projects, and save yourself the time of showing the category, "Photography," under each thumbnail.
- So now I see some have a series. Perhaps there's a better way to package or preview these?monospaced

I agree with this ^
I understand the "art gallery" image on the home page, but on my screen (13" Retina MBP) the wall of the gallery is above the fold and the floor is below, exactly at the fold. Now, before you say, "there is no fold!" let me just say that when I couldn't click on the images, my first reaction was to scroll down. It took me a minute to realize that was supposed to be the "floor" of the gallery. It's just nothing down there, just some weird ugly floor image.
I'd say that having to click on the hamburger to get into the site is the biggest annoyance.
Great photos, though!
The inner pages are fine, but if you want to make it better you should add a scroll/swipe option to the slider for projects that are a series. So, if I scroll/swipe right or left it flips to the next image.
- my initial response was to click on the wall images as well..sea_sea

thank you very much for the critique all - @monospaced I agree with you on the Photography category seeming unecessary... until that is you get to page 4 5 and 6 of projects and discover my other categories of work - Graphics, 3D concept work and bamboo product design.
Photography is my core business and so it should be front and center but I also have a lot of other interests and skills but have yet to figure a way to adequately display them in a consistent manner - anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears- I think you can showcase photography, and have obvious links to your other design work, front and center.monospaced
- Also, start with a description of yourself like you wrote here, about photography being core, and other interests skills.monospaced

i think. change the hamburger to a little grid. make new little grid link to projects view. expose menu currently inside hamburger. problem(s) solved.
