Hi all,
I finally got around to building myself a website (cobblers children and all that)... http://www.instantsurf.co.uk ...

Just simple galleries of my polaroid stuff really.

Any constructive feedback welcome... there are still a few things on my to do list but it is getting there now...

Cheers

Congrats, Matt.
I know nothing of the technicalities of polaroid, but i like the quirky imperfections it brings to an image, so I offer this purely as a personal opinion.

A nice selection of interesting shots and a clean simple presentation, makes for a good looking site that I'm sure will stand repeated visits.
I like your treatment of the panoramic images and there are some really nice sensitive portraits in the people gallery.

Hard to pick a fave, but I do like the Trevaunance Cove shot you've chosen for your "home" page... it's the perfect intro to the site.
Top stuff... wish you every success with it.

Thanks Aksel!

Yes I did think about random photos or a slider on the homepage, will add to the list for V2!
