Hi,

he's got a good site there and some good photos.

<pedantic rant>

But he does a couple of things which really annoy me. He has a gallery
called 'Fine Art' which is just some nudes, and a disclaimer which reads
"This gallery contains images of the human form which are portrayed in an
artistic manner". What he means, of course, is "This gallery contains
nude photos", so why not just say that? Or call it "Nudes", about
which there can be no doubt, and which the prudish can easily avoid,
rather than 'Fine Art'. Why be mealy-mouthed about it? Why do people try
to hide what it is behind a verbal fig leaf? He's not too squeamish to
photograph them and display them, why be squeamish about the language?

He also says "Viewer disgression is recommended". 'Disgression'? After
all that trouble making a really professional-looking website he can't
bothered to check the spelling?

</pedantic rant>

Cheers,
 Bob
