I lilke the site, well done. The only thing I would add, if this is something you are trying to get, is info on if you shoot pictures for sale (can you buy prints of your work, do you take portraits, etc...). If the site is just to show your work, then I think you're all good.

Just one word of advice: Remove your email address and use a form to generate emails. An email address anywhere on or in the markup of a webpage will get spammed to death.

Just my thought. Since you have a website why are you using a yahoo address? Just doesn't seem professional to me to use free email accounts. I would assuming you have an email address related to the website so I would suggest using that.

I like the site. If you are AT ALL interested in search engine placement, you'll need to add regular hypertext links to all your pages in addition to the Flash navigation buttons you are using. Search engines cannot read the links inside a Flash animation, so any engine that hits your site won't index all the pages and will make it MUCH more difficult for you to be listed well.

very nice site, I am just not a big fan of pop-ups once you click on an image/link

I would reconsider the pop-ups. I used to have them, but then I started asking clients if they could view my galleries, MOST of them couldn't figure out how to stop the pop-up blocker OR they thought the 1st image in the gallery AKA thumbnail WAS the portfolio!

I have an email listed on my site and I"ve never had problems with spam. Just my experience on that angle.

Are your prints for sale or should there be a link to a storefront where customers may purchase your work?

Nice site. Good composition and tasteful layout. One comment I would make in addition to what has already been said is that you should be careful of using text images. On my screen the text and several of the icons pixelate.
