Thanks for the feedback. At this point, the only point of the site is to share my work and to serve as kind of a gateway to my blog. I'm leaning towards self-publishing my work as books in the future and the site will then act as a store for those books as well.
The small number of images is due to my taking my photography in different direction from what I've mostly done in the past and I just don't have many photos reflecting that as yet. I'll be adding lots more as time goes by. Also I changed the portfolio pages to have larger thumbnails, makes it look not so empty. Thanks for the suggestion on the about page. I struggled with the wording of that phrase a while and never did like how it came out. I think what I've got on there now is much better.
