New website...

[Noah A]

After talking with a number of editors, gallery folks and other industry people, I decided to go for a very simple stripped-down non-flash website. It's my first attempt at a totally hand-coded site, but I'm happy with most of it.

The Colorado River project, which is still in-progress, is my first real LF project, shot on 4x5.

The Lima work is 6x7 but my Future Cities project will continue on 4x5. The Housing portraits are 6x7 also and Brazil is a mix of Nikon and Leica digital.

the only thing I would change is drop the color from the text and go to white text on a dark grey background. The bright background fights with the photo images. Everything else is great.

Congratulations you did great on your site. Yes I agree with Drew. Why don't you try to opt in with other color options something that could enhance more your photos. Aside from gray, I would suggest dark blue or black background in white colored font.

Very nice! I too agree about the white background being too bright—fights with the images and it's hard on my eyes. I personally like white text on medium to dark grey, and find white text on black very hard on my eyes and difficult to read.

focuses the attention on the photography rather than the techie wizardry of the website. well done. my only suggestion is that you utilize an anti-spam device for emails. you will find with the current mailto: you are using that your inbox will fill up with viagra ads very quickly.

Really nice work, Noah. And I like the simplicity of the site. My comments are minor quibbles:

-the navigation makes it unclear which body of work you're looking at.

-it would be nice if there were a way to move through the pictures besides the previous/next buttons, which move around with different size pictures.

-your statement places the work firmly in the documentary tradition. this made me go back and look at the pictures again. looking at the work from this perspective made me wish I had text accompanying the individual images, so I could better know what I was looking at.

Thanks for the kind words and helpful advice. I'll be trying some of these ideas out as soon as I get a chance (and learn how to do a few more things!).

Really nice site. Very clean and clear.

A couple extra hyphens in your About page (last 2 sentences of paragraph 3).
