So I just launched my site for my photography and I wanted to get some feedback on it. Its more of my portfolio than a photo blog. Tell me what you think...

thanks for checking the site, but I don't see any reason in trying to deter downloads on watermarked, heavily optimized, resized pics when anyone could screen shot it anyway.

the easier you make it for them, the more likely it will happen..

imo downloading watermarked photos is no biggie...

as a devout image thief myself, if you're going to take the time to remove the watermark, you're gonna take the time to screencap if you must.

not sure what you are trying to do with the site. If your trying to show how good a photographer you are I would cut all but about 5 of those, including all the action ones. If your trying to show off your mediocracy keep it as it is.

to the goat

you.... are a fucking idiot.

this kid is never claiming that he is a professional photgrapher.

he has plenty of talent and even more potential. and more importantly he is doing what he loves. and trying to share some of his photography with the people at newschoolers. he has his own photography site launched which i wouldn't doubt is more than you can say.

either way keep it up . nice photos

Just did an update on the site with new photos and optimized a little better than before.

Any thoughts?

Are you guys talking about this cat picture?

Click for larger image

If so, I don't see anything special. I think the first couple portraits are your best work. The ski photos are above average but a lot of them were the same angle. I think if you only had a couple photos it would be better.

I shot most of the ski shots on the same day and didnt move around too much because people were throwing down way too fast haha. I don't normally get to shoot a lot of skiers, mostly snowboarding since most of my friends are snowboarders. Thanks for the feedback. +k
