haha it was good! I responded to his blog,and to save myself effort, I'm just going to paste my thoughts again here ...


Not being a professional photographer I can't add any authority to this, but from a screen design prospective I can add that many people on the multimedia industry are airing similar gripes.

Unfortunately it seems quality in design and quality of content are often assumed to be the same thing. (If you fail to understand the difference, go spend some time on myspace)

We (and I include the reader here also, not just the web designers) all encounter site after useless site that, while very expressive, highly imaginative and creative and quite technically astounding, are also:
highly difficult to navigate to important data efficiently,
have layouts that while impressive detracts severely from the product (something I imagine that would be all to easy for photography)
or, in the truly drastic cases, are entirely and completely irrelevant.

And I don't think it is to much to ask to have it all. I'm sure Ford would be perfectly pleased to face a fancy overdone site, if it had say, a small but easily found link to a simple (but of course stylistically consistent) Professional portfolio. I've already stated that I'm no photography expert, but surely in fine photography also, the ability to express an idea must go hand in hand with technical skill?

Art may be a matter of taste, but a website is a matter of communication, and communication should always be as clear and concise as it is eloquent.

By all means express yourself, but for your own sake do it clearly.

How was I supposed to know your firewood was full of gunpowder

your comment is a nice addition to Ford's post. I just opened a DA portfolio and the reactions were positive, its fast and easy to navigate.

Additionally, I think I might have too much content, it's difficult to find the right amount of pictures per gallery in my opinion. I think people would want to haste through an online portfolio, while on a print portfolio they would take their time.. what do you think?
