Maybe I'm missing something here but that little image looks like its the size of a digital camera sensor rather than large format.

On the internet, it seems people have a particularly short attention span. If it takes time to bring images up at all, then some surfers won't stay at your site. To a certain extent it seems like it has to work for the lowest common denominator (small monitors) or there will be problems.

the "little image" is actually the thumbnail
point taken about attention span. then there is the problem of being found at all

but i guess that once someone stumbles onto your site you must do your best to keep them
I've been thinking of doing an iPad app that lets you zoom "all the way in" to an 8x10. It would be an adaptation of an art book app I'm making.
There are so many photographer portfolio apps out there, and they're all uniformly terrible. This wouldn't be the same as seeing large prints, but at least it would give you a bigger view than the web.
the iPad/iPhone app would be more interesting if i had an iPad/IPhone... which I have no plans of ever owning. likely this is true for many of the people browsing out there so could the app also do PC/MAC?
as to "uniformly terrible"... that is correct. and nothing is the same as seeing very large prints except for the "lightbox effect" of seeing them in transmission rather than reflection that you have on the web
