Hey! I made a web site!!

[JBrunner]

Regardless of whether visitors to the site will or will not understand traditional photography, Walker has a point.

I assume that your site is aimed toward a broad audience, and not just the type of folks we find here on APUG. If not aimed toward a broad audience, ignore my comments below.

The "about the print" section comes off a bit negative. You say a lot about what the prints are not, but don't speak to the tonal range, luminosity, texture, etc, etc. All of this may be obvious to those who understand and appreciate silver-based photography, but not to everyone. And even if they do understand, I think you want to be more positive (i.e. why your prints are better, not that others are worse). So you can leave in your current points, but balance them with the positive.

You might want to add some comments on contact printing and the implications it has for the creation of the original image.

I'd even go as far as to state the obvious - that no computer screen can fully convey the subtleties of the real image. My 2 cents.

Well, your and Walker's 2 cents are priceless as far as I am concerned. Very good advice, and spot on. Much appreciated.

Jason,

One minor navigation issue...when you click on a thumbnail inside one of the themed galleries (Still Lifes, Landscapes, etc.) to get the bigger image, there doesn't seem to be a way to get back to the themed gallery. I'd have to click on the gallery link on the left, then select the themed gallery to get back to the thumbnails. I know I can use the browser's back button, but it would be nice to have the navigation built into the site, an "Up" button or something similar.

I agree with the previous poster about the full-size images being a bit on the small side, but to be honest I wouldn't have noticed it if someone hadn't said something earlier.

You've got some great work posted so far and I'm anxious to see your site when you have the galleries populated.

I really like the layout and design of your website and can't wait to see the galleries full of your images.

Great job

Great suggestion! Underway. I also redid the "about the prints section" much better now. Thanks also to John (The Banana) who pm'd help with grammar.
