Relaunch of 50mm.jp site

So I have re launched the 50mm.jp website.
After a lot of playing around with different options I decided to keep pixelpost as the platform. Would have built it in wordpress but it was too difficult to make a seamless experience that handled images well, didn’t use flash, worked on the iphone and allowed you to track individual photo views on Google analytics.
The site does not contain all work I have done and I have not yet decided how I will approach the upload of new work but I’m hoping to keep it fresher than it has been in the recent past. If it (photo’s you have seen before by me) can’t be found on 50mm it could be located either on flickr or here. If there is an image you have seen that has gone missing please contact me and I’ll upload it to one of the 3 locations.
Any and all feedback more than welcome.

    Welcome back!

    As i usually say, minimalism is always a winner. It´s great to have the chance to learn from the artistry of such a talented person.

    Cheers!
  • You are too kind.
  • excellent photos + necessary navigation - distracting stuff = good photography showcase site = 50mm.jp =)
    Just one thing: high JPEG compression level make thumbnails on archive pages look like... err... too bad (http://50mm.jp/browse/1). Maybe it would be an idea to tune that setting. It'll take a bit longer for the page to load though...
  • Thank you for your kind words re content of the site and also for the point about the thumbnail compression.
    I have re-generated all the thumbnails with a 100 setting so they should now look a lot better. Thanks for pointing this out and for giving me a chance to improve the look.
  • どう致しまして。^_^ Thank you for sharing beautiful photographs!
    By the way, in the post above you mentioned missing pictures. I have one. =)
    (Brief story. Long time ago I came across a photo on flickr and saved it to my hard drive. Rarely do this, but liked it too much, and it was available in high resolution. Also, thanks to that photo I discovered your photography.)
    Now I can't find it on flickr, in this blog or at 50mm.jp. Here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/141752/girl.jpg
