A little Update to my portfolio. Tell me what you think. Haven't organized the photos really yet and still more to add.

too many of "the same shots" the close ups of people in the air, pick the best one don't have 10 similar shots. Nice to see someone young(now I feel old) that shoots some film, might want to clean up some of the B&W shots that had dust and scratches on them. I really dig the one of the skateboarder on the banked wall. Hope that's helpful.

cut at least (2 3 8 9 12 18 21 23 ) plus all of the repetitive skiing shots 25-35 or so..
Also your portfolio link takes me to a new tab.. fix that.. change the font, or make it smaller or something, it made me not want to read it.

I really liked the first shot though.. light leak or yellow/red hue added in post?

Nice shots, i looked at your about me, and found it really hard to read, it might of been me but it seemed with the font size and the background behind the text it was hard to read. but other than that nice work!

Not a fan of how it opens up multiple safari windows.

fake smoke? which one?

I really liked your site man. as previously stated, maybe think about changing font (and maybe a bit of the wording) of your about me.
nice layout, looks sharp and clean and the portfolio is smooth and easy to view.

good job

"Working in photoshop is easier but I much prefer to get my hands dirty in the dark room."

Maybe take that out, to me it sounds kinda unprofessional or something, it doesn't seem to sit. Maybe it's just me though.

Also the blue kinda bothers me maybe use a slightly less bright color? Again it could just be me though.

Other than that, it's very well laid out nice work!
