I like the strong, simple layout. It's very easy to navigate. The information is presented in the most accessible way.

Typos:
1. In the Opt-Out rollover: "This pieces is"
2. In photages, erotica: "exisiting"

"Sundry photography" seems like an inadequate description for the brown boobie bird photo. I suggest "flight above the waves" or something that gives it an atmosphere. Ditto with the two photos that are described as "Macro."

In the erotica section, #34 has no description, and I think it needs one in order to fit with the others.

Very, very nice online portfolio! I don't think you'll have any trouble getting into a college art program.

I'm likin' the new portfolio site, just a few comments:
I think the title should be on its own line, or even centered and then the pics on the main page, (and all the pages) should be closer to their mouse-over description. Other than that its great. I'm usinc Safari, and it looks pretty good. It does create a scroll bar at the bottom, which I find sort of annoying, but I am also using a 12 inch powerbook and I can widen my browser view to fix it. On Firefox for mac it looks better. Everything loads fine. I just wish the pics were in some better order, there ares some just kinda sitting out there.

Everything on the page loaded fine and works on my XP machine. I like the layout but it didn't hit me right away I needed to click on the pictures to get more. That or I needed to get more sleep as it's 4am now. Once I figured out the picture thing getting around was easy and fun. I really like the diagonal framing placement of each picture on a mouse over.

Oh and I tired out the page with my old crappy computers! The one with P4 + Win98SE + IE 6.0.2800 = worked fine like my XP one. But the older PIII + Win98SE + IE 5.00.2614 = wouldn't show or load any of the graphical text for the title like "Portfolio Larry Holdaway" and no "back" button. So with no back button I had to use the back button on the browser. Seemed ok just not as cool like on the other machines.

Hope that helps! Talk to you later!
