Sander,

While I like the layout and the cropped used of thumbnails, as a guest of the site, I would probably only view a couple of images before I got frustrated with the amount of time just to display each photo.

It takes anywhere from 4 to 5 seconds per image. This adds up and the average guest will go to other galleries with quicker displays.

Do you really need Flash to bring up a photo?

I think it's off-site storage, probably flickr through the API or something. It is a bit slow.

Also there's a lot of text to read through at the top.

The overall look and feel though is quite nice.

Thanks, but it's not off-site storage or flickr.
It's self hosted on my domain, and pop-up is by lightbox

I see your point with loading time, I can adjust that speed too 1/2 seconds, or change the pop-up style

I'll see how it works out, and yes the text on top is pretty long
perhaps I could move that below the gallery itself

Thanks !
