Default My First Personal Portfolio Website

I am nearing the stage of entering university and college and I need to begin to build up a portfolio of everything I have done, one of my favorites is of course. . . Photography

I recently got inspired in starting my own person photography website. I contacted a friend of mine who was an expert in web-design and he helped me host this website. In this I uploaded a collection of the photos I have taken up to this point of time . . .although I am still an amateur. .

Please click on the link below:

Tell me what you guys think of it? If any of you guys have something similar, what recommendations would you have for me?

Thanks!

Jason

Hi Jason:

Very nice photos!

Congratulations on you site.

I find it a bit difficult to navigate since there are no clickable buttons on the large photo page.

There is no discernible way to get back Home for people who don’t know nor does the photo stream itself show anywhere once you are reviewing photos.

I would be good to have a slide show option.

You might want to label all of your photos and watermark them.

Again, congrats!

nice theme, nice site & perfect use of WP.

The only thing I would change is make the menu's font bold or make the color a bit lighter shade & later on maybe devide the photos to categories.

keep it up

one more thing, "This photo was taken during...." at the start of every discription of the slide show make the discription a bit "odd", I guess you can easily let go with that pre-desciption & be more to the point
