    At first I missed the navigation links at the top because they blended in with the background image, so you might want to think of a way to make the navigation stand out more. Also, there's no link back to the homepage that I could find. Other than that, not bad.

    A note on hit tracking (and this goes for anyone with their own site): I saw the hit counter at the bottom of the homepage, and while easy to use, they can only tell you how many times the page was loaded, even if someone just keeps hitting the refresh button all day long. A more useful measurement is how many unique individuals visit the site. There are some more advanced counters out there that use cookies to achieve this, but its still pretty basic.

    For those adventurous enough, I highly recommend setting up your website to use Google's Analytics web tracking application. Its free (though you may have to wait a few weeks before they let you in) and it gives you insane amount of info on your site's visitors: geographic location, most popular pages, referring sites, navigational analysis, what version of Flash they have, screen resolution, and on and on.

    All you have to do is paste some code Google gives you into your web pages, and Google does the rest. Couldn't be easier or more informative.

    Interesting design there, the one thing I would change, remove the splatters. They're too noisy, and does make the text in front of them blend in. Also in the photography section, add a back link from the galleries to the main photo page, both at the top and the bottom of the displayed photos. Other than that, great stuff, easy to navagate
