Both of the first two links should be required reading for anyone who's thinking
of putting a portfolio online. Easy navigation, simple design, no flash,
nothing to take attention away from the photos.

(first FPP; be kind!)

Wow. Many of these are fantastic - complete with arresting character studies.

Great first post - thanks!

Those fish tank photos are gorgeous... and rather epic-looking. Thank you so much!

Oh, these remind me of last summer, when some of the Rax photos were on public display in Reykjavik. Thanks!

The fish tank photos are my favorite too - they are dreamy!

A similar fishtank technique was used to create the vast wide shots in the BBC adaptation of Gormenghast
