Thanks, but his site automatically resizes my browser. A reason not to investigate further.

It seems to be the photographers' disease; a tendency towards having websites that resize browsers, rely on awful flash-based navigation, and - Flying Spaghetti Monster preserve us - even have background music.

Interesting site....no resizing of the pages has occurred when I was looking at it. Windows XP Pro and Firefox

Just had a more in-depth look at his site....such a cross section of material difficult to pick out a favourite but I would guess something for everyone in there. And it behaved in Firefox.

yeah it requires a little digging. i personally enjoyed the porn safari, and he has some nice portraits. the dying england thing had some interesting looking folks. i'm guessing he didn't design his own site, as he is a 'professional' photog.

Leisure World USA and Fat nation were two that brightened my day....a lot more serious stuff as well but as it's the weekend I thought I would pick on the bright stuff! Yeah very slick site....I'm sure you don't that for 50 quid!

Very interesting stuff - I really enjoyed his work.  There was a bit of browser resizing for me (I'm on Windows XP and Firefox as well), but eh, I can see past that for the photography.  Plus it wasn't laden with annoying flash and whatever that causes my firefox to freeze up as many other photography sites do (that's why I stick to the very plain look on my portfolio - also I don't do html and stuff THAT well!).

I liked the Nose Jobs in Iran series, very interesting!  The happy look on the women's faces are wonderful to see since you always see such sadness (or no expression at all).

Oh, and I REALLY liked the Cornish Fisherman.  Especially the chap in the white coat.  Love him.

Some excellent work in there. Good sense of the offbeat and the ugly. I found the inline navigation quite useful. No resizing under the Safari browser.

I also tried with Firefox and had no resizing... though I must say I use the NoScript add-on which is a must have. It blocks all script unless you tell it to. Very good. The site does use script (the add-on tells me), but I just kept it blocked and the site worked fine.

As for photos, I didn't have much of a look since I'm short on net time this month :(

Nope... I live in Canada and have 35 hours of dial-up for 34.95$/3 months pre-paid service...
that's about 10$/month... Cheapest I could find... Basic DSL usually runs at 25$/month :( :( :(

I had his book, Gun Nation, before and enjoyed it.  Large interesting bodies of work.  There's a shot in the porn section of a guy in the pool standing with a cigarette in hand while performing cunninglus.  Insane    :o
