Hi Burt,

Whoa! Photography... I'm crazy about it. :)

In my opinion, superior design, Burt. Good job! Love the care in=
 the 
positioning of the photos in the portfolio. Page 2 comes a bit=
 short 
though. It looks too... straight. I think you did a better job on=
 the other 
pages where the photos are more "out of place" and with different=
 sizes, 
which lends to more interesting text positioning giving a more=
 artistic 
look.

The contacts page was a dissapointment :(
The picture there looks more like a cheap tech support add. It=
 just doesn't 
fit on the whole "Jazz" look you gave to the site. Not to mention=
 the fact 
that after just 2 seconds of looking at it I had already noticed=
 that was 
an hospital and she's a doctor. Bad publicity, if you know what I=
 mean :p 
And the red phone? Whoa! Talk about urgency :p
I think a simple B&W jpg of one of Marc's cameras (on a white=
 background) 
would make a better alternative.

Ok. Now the hardest part, I think.
On my IE6 I get a horizontal scroll bar when looking at the site=
 at 
800x600. This only happens where you have that javascript=
 scroll.
The browser vertical scrollbar shows up and automatically=
 generates the 
horizontal scroll. When I scroll everything down the vertical=
 scrollbar 
dissapears but the horizontal one remains and this only because=
 of... what 
I believe... 2 pixels. This is partly an IE only issue. Netscape=
 7 reveals 
the same problem. But when the vertical bar dissapears, so the=
 horizontal 
one. Opera doesn't understand the javascript that well and=
 decides it 
should occupy the whole height of the window. Nothing you can do=
 there, I 
believe...

Given the nature of the site and the way you designed it, it=
 seems to me 
800x600 is the way to go. The only quirk is this ugly horizontal=
 scroll 
bar.

Cheers,
Mario Figueiredo
