i like it. it's easy to navigate.
the first thumbnail in each set is higher than the rest. what's the deal? (see here)
your language in the journal section could be more professional.
i generally like lightboxes, but if one of your visitors wants to show a friend a specific image, they can't link to one specifically.
good job.

They look fine in Safari.

Agree. It certainly shows your personality, but potential serious clients could be turned off by saying things like "get my ass in gear" :-o
I think this is infinitely better than what you first started out with! Good job sticking with it.

weird.. I checked it on safari, firefox, and IE and it looks fine for me.
> your language in the journal section could be more professional.
I guess that is the less formal, and more personal section of the website. I understand being professional, but I want it to be a place where I can share photos that don't go into portfolios. Being a professional doesn't mean I have to be a tight ass.
*edit*
Most of the time, I won't really have any text on the journal page anyways.
>I think this is infinitely better than what you first started out with! Good job sticking with it.
a myspace photography page would have been better than that ;)

did you try it on windows? can anyone else confirm this on windows?

I just tried it in Chrome (beta), Firefox (3.5.something), and IE 8 on Windows 7 and didn't see what you're talking about, lr.
"what happened?" larz?!
i'm in firefox 3.0.14 on windows xp sp3.
i just updated to 3.5.3 and it looks fine now.
my guess is that some of the css is non-standard. http://is.gd/3PxUi

probably. i have no idea how to use css and just botched it together.
i was gonna say i get it to larz, but i'm running 3.0.14 so i should probably update that shit.
I get the bug with Firefox 3.0.6 on OpenBSD.

+1 on that. It was the first thing I noticed and if I had been looking for someone I would have closed the page.
I must say, I really like the rock stacks

btw. I have horizontal scroll bars on my screen, a more flexible layout (Width-wise) might be a bit better.
Lustre and Glossy, what's the difference? What's better?
And you get money from the prints, right?

> Lustre and Glossy, what's the difference?
it's similar to the difference between the finish on a thinkpad lcd and the finish on a macbook lcd, respectively.
> What's better?
it's purely a matter of preference, in my opinion. gloss makes colors more vibrant, but it can be more troublesome if the lighting isn't perfect. really, it's similar to the benefits and costs of the respective lcd finishes.
i've been doing a lot of non-gloss work lately, but i think i'm going to go back to gloss.

I prefer lustre. it is a bit more matte than glossy and doesn't reflect as much.
and I get paid (85% - cost to print)
>btw. I have horizontal scroll bars on my screen, a more flexible layout (Width-wise) might be a bit better.
What resolution are you using?

I've edited that first post down to make it more appropriate. I guess I can see what you guys mean.
I want to add links to blogs from my friends, so if any of you have a blog that you'd like me to list, let me know!

Thanks for the explanation, I think I'll go for lustre.
In case you hadn't figured it out, I am seriously considering buying a print of one of those rock stack pics. Not sure which one, maybe this?

Also, is it just me or are the images post-processed?

in what way? Pretty sure that I only sharpened them and maybe adjusted the exposure on a few.

I would hope so...
On your contact page, an email address like andrewpeterson@blahblah.com would look so much better!

I'm not an expert, but I would say it looks good.
I didn't get the frame today :-( I went by my mom's first, and that was rather nice. So I stayed too long and the shops were closed when I left ...

it does this both in ie8 and chrome.
this is a different error than i was having before, where it would display a lot of improper characters for text. i wanted to link people to your most recent post :(

looks like the stylesheet isn't loading. what's with the crazy href for the stylesheet?
href="/display/common.css?styleId=515783&RK=1254542749300&CE=21"
probably because I'm retarded and this is what happens when retards try and build their own sites :)
Where did the photography go on adpetersonphotography.com ?
Woh what the fuck?
yeah :P I have to resurrect it... my domain expired without any one telling me.. it must have gotten eaten up by a bot or some shit. I need to get a new one. sorry for the inconvenience!
Shit, that's harsh. Also, the people who hijacked your domain are not just the normal fuckers, this crap is even worse :(
I feel for you :(
I feel for you :(
ah thanks! I'll try to get it sorted out this week. I have to go to coffee shops for internet right now so its kind of inconvenient.
this has got me wanted to auto renew my domain.
My registrar spams my mailbox with "WARNING YOUR DOMAIN IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE"-messages ... Kind of hard to miss those.
haven't gotten any of those, and my domain expires here on october 6th. plus, auto renew isn't an option for me for some reason :(
[~]% whois carpetsmoker.net | grep 'Expiration Date:'
Expiration Date: 19-nov-2014
I'm sure you can write a fancy script around that ;)

It's such a more constructive way of helping people, treating people as intelligent and self-sufficient human beings fully capable of helping themselves who just have been born into unfortunate circumstances.
This is different from many other "classic" aid which treats people as stupid dogs which need to be fed every few days.

hell yeah I think it's great! and once they pay off their loan, you get your money back to be re-circulated and loaned again.
... Or to buy beer ;p
I really appreciate that aspect of your website, Ander.
nah

bastard image doesn't even send a correct doctype
Since when do images send doctypes? :-)
webserver/HTTP :p
Doctype is not part of HTTP, but part of HTML ... I think you mean the Content-Type header ...
yeah, i meant the latter
