Do love the site Rick like I have said and it certainly stands out strong and the contrast between the gallery, contact and about pages is awesome.

I did not know I could use my arrow keys and now I do it improves the experiance 100%.

One downfall is the picture of the random scary lincoln dude in the portraits……

Love how it turned out, very striking. Like you, my favourite part is the gallery and being able to skim through the pictures with my keyboard. Good work, Nunn! Oh, and Merry Christmas ;)

Thanks Kym :)

Thanks Mike – Load times on a photo portfolio is always going to be an issue, reducing the file size, of course, reduces the quality of the image and I am sure you can imagine a photographer wouldn’t be too keen on that. Hopefully people will be patient while the images load, it is defiantly worth waiting a few seconds, James has some amazing photos.

Clever use of CSS/Javascript :D I like!

My only (and pretty much the only issue), problem would probably be the loading time! Large images being resized in the browser etc.

But thats just nitpicking really! haha. great website! Inspiring to redesign my own site!

Nice post Rick, I giggled at the mistress bit.
I love the site, it looks awesome, ‘Simple, Strong & Clean’ really packs a punch.
I had the pleasures of being in your presence when you worked on a lot of this, and I have enjoyed watching it being assembled. (Can I say assembled? I am going with it anyway)

Loving the portfolio pages and how visual they are, James must be really happy with it :)

Pensil & fineliner all the way, but I do have a lot of different notebooks that I scribble in. Some of them are very very messy.
