You should mention that it's NSFW.

Not to mention autofire audio that drops the stop button outside the dimension of my browser window. With that said, I tried to take a look around the site and the nav didn't make any sense. Doesn't do the photogs any good if you can't see their work.

NSFW and navigation is indeed retarded, but still, nice post!

Most art galleries that I have visited have sparse interiors, so that the art may stand on its own and be appreciated in that fashion. The grating soundtrack and painful navigation tell me that either this gallery owner cares little about the artists, or the artists' work cannot stand alone.

It's not bad if you're at home, or you work for someone who can differentiate what is art and what is porn.

The navigation is inspired by a magazine, so click on the right to go next page, click on the left to back. Yea, it doesn't really translate too well to the web.

Thanks, splatta, I kinda got that after a long while, but it's still screwy. The content is good but the navigation just gums it up. FWTW.

Nice pictures, sucky navigation. One day, something will be formally written about the failure of producing flash based photo/art galery whose navigation doesn't SUCK -- a curse of our time.

meh to the photography, and the flash rule of thumb 'fi, 'fi were kingggggg, would be "if it doesn't absolutely positively need to MOVE, animation style, don't use flash. ass."


but then again, I'm a tired cranky jerkface.

Some decent pictures, although many more were too clever by half. The navigation did suck, and it was only by randomly clicking that I could get anything to happen, so then that's what I did, which didn't give me much control at all over what I saw.

It's a good post, though, thanks.
