I think the design is nice and simple and it works well. I like the layout a lot!
The header is nice and I like the way you used your photography in it. I'm not a big fan of the fonts you used, they follow that rustic look but don't flow well with the design. Perhaps try somethign a little sleeker looking. Everything else looks fine! Good job!

thx! i appreciate your feedback.

by the way, are you talking about the title "RESULTS" or the body type? when you say "sleeker looking" do you mean like a san-serif face?

Hey your a happy looking guy :)

Design is nice but I really don't like the popup.

Why not try to implement a Flash gallery?

The body type is fine, but the other fonts just don't seem to work.
I'd say try a sans-serif, but there is a few smooth looking serif fonts. Play with it a bit and find what works the best.

i would like to build a flash/xml gallery. sure would be easier to update. I'm gonna work on http://kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm -- and see where we go from there.
