This is the first site I made, and want to know if it looks good.

The pictures might be in higher quality/format than they need to be,
either that or your server is a bit slow.. I can't tell cos right click is disabled on the pictures.

It's OK.

The site looks nice. Could do with a little 'more' in terms of the design - even as a minimal design its a little plain, but its a good basis for a site.

Proof read everything again

this is a picky typography thing, but you shouldnt use bold text for body copy (ie who am i) and to add on to what the last person said, maybe you can put some kind of "texture" down the menu bar side - just to add some flair

I am a photographer with a love for creating, a respect for history and a passion for design.. I hope my unique style comes out in my work, and I hope to develop my skill for capturing simple beauty. I am currently living in Moosomin, Saskatchewan and try to hit the hidden back roads with my young familyin town whenever I can to create evem more beautiful, unique local photography. Enjoy my collection.

^ this doesn't sound like the tent-living, paint chroming Huff Daddy we've all grown to know and love...what's the deal Glue Bag?

Good site, especially for the first try!

I need to scroll down to see the bottom part, maybe you could rearrange the div containers? I dig the minimalistic layout, maybe you could try to involve a reoccurring element into it, for instance do the headlines/page titles in the same orange as the menu is and put a border around your pictures in the same orange or something like that.

Oh and in the portfolio some of the pictures seem a bit out of line!?

Just some touchups and you have yourself a slick site man!

drewzle . ha , im doing the site for some friends . just volenteering now but maybe after I can make a decent site . someone might pay me.

blindfold. thanks man, i wonder if I should put the navigater beside the images , or just shrink the images more and keep it at the bottom. I'll work on the consistency or colors.

dman. yess! good plan I might use a lofi gif to get a trippy effect, and fix the banner with hifi.

cartesia . yup . gonna crunch the images down more.

thanks everyone for checking it. peace.
