Dear Susan,

Not sure if it's just me, but I find the grey on black text very =3D
difficult
to read. I've tried it in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, and it's =3D
the
same. I had to use my mouse to highlight it in order to make it =3D
readable.

I suggest that if you want to use a black background, you go with white =3D
type
and maybe even a slightly thicker font.

Hope this helps,

Susan,

The site look beautiful, very professional. I have to agree with the
font color issue - it's a bit hard to read for me, just enough that I
tended to want to ignore it and look at the pretty pictures instead.
I use a black background with gray font on my site - the font is
bolder and just slightly gray (looks white, but it's not - just a but
easier on the eyes). Your font also comes out very small on my
computer - my monitor is 1440 x 900 pixels.

I'd also add a last page button on the images so I don't have to use
the browser to go back to the last page.

I like the look of the site - the header is really beautiful.

Take care,

Dan Rotblatt
