RE: Reworked my website
Christopher, I find it very difficult to read the text on your website as the font color is too dark to contrast against the background color.

I know there are a few people out there believing one should have a html option, but I have decided against it. Flash has been around now for 6-7 years and a main staple in cyber land and I accept the risk of a few not being able to view my site because they are holding out in installing flash. I actually do have a question for you all about what it means to combine one's art with one's commercial work on one web site. I have in the past, kept them separate because I feel when galleries get wind of an artist trying to make a living offering commercial services, it somehow makes them less an artist, in the artist community. This is especially true when it comes to photographers. Of course it's fine once you're established in both worlds to be seen as both, for example, artist/fashion photographer, but for some reason when you are starting out, this can harm you. What you think of this and is it wise to combine my two worlds together on one site? Oh and I should note, I'm dealing with the New York City art world reality/environment here, which I think is why I'm bringing this up. Thanks, Christopher
