I've been trying to finalize a website of my own for the last three years now (maybe even more!) and it has finally gotten to the point where I feel it is polished enough to where I am comfortable showing it to people who are not closely related or friends with me.
The purpose is to have a venue through which I can display photographs for sale as art so primary audience is potential customers. As of right now the site is essentially a brochure, but eventually I hope to set it up so I can accept online orders.
Any comments or thoughts are welcome - if you see any behavior that looks really odd I'd love a screenshot! The site is at:

The photos look great...perhaps your gallery could be organized by categories of photos? And it'd be nice to have a button to view the next photo, or previous photo.
Ironically, there's a typo in your phrase about "exacting standards." :-)
And "absolutely" has a typo, too. (faq page under Do you sell your work? question.)
Hi Benjamin, I like the simple style and you have some great images, but I too would like to be able to move more easily through your gallery, rather than clicking an image, then the back button, then clicking the next image ..... Overall feel is good though :)
Thanks, all, for the notes and suggestions! I found even more spelling mistakes after running the pages through spell check - probably something I should remember to do more often ;)
Dave - Did the entire site load slowly as you were browsing or just the flash on the homepage?
Simple and clean, NICE. I wasn't distracted by the site, but was instantly drawn to your photos. Really, really great work on there. I wish there were more! That's really my only complaint. :D One critique though, "Each image you see is carefully chosen to meet Benjamins exacting standards." on the home page makes you sound a tad pretentious in my opinion, but that's up to you!
