This site is AMAZING.
…if people would stop using Flash for everything.
Amen to that. I’ve never understand why so many photographers think they need a flash website. Jeremy’s new site is beautiful.

…And I said it twice, just so you know how serious I am…
i saw this site at like a 11:30 last night.. brilliant.
my only issue with it is that it’s slooooow..
it’s better than it was last night and this morning for sure!
this site is pure brilliance.
only thing it’s missing:
blankenship wedding photos.
I like it. I don’t like the logotype or gradient on said. The huge thumbnails, however, are absolutely the awesomest. The attention to detail, from the way the form-fields auto unfocus to the simple drop-down menus, the site is thoroughly though-through and makes every flash photography site feel like a Wal-Mart T-Shirt, cheap and dirty and ugly.
I love Flash for certain sites, ideas, etc. but this is probably the best layout for photography on the web right now.
Change that logotype, and it might just be the best layout for a photography site in the history of web development. Maybe.
Thanks for all the kind comments.
Zach: regarding speed, it wasn’t supposed to be announced last night :-) and I was having to do quite a bit of Apache/Mongrel tuning this morning. We were just completely maxing out on the default Apache client processes. It should be very snappy now.
Blankenship wedding photos are needed for those of use that could not attend.
the new site is everything a photographer’s site should be – it gets out of the way and does a phenomenal job of presenting such a large body of work – awesome

The New Jeremy Cowart Photography
Wed 08/01/07
2,326 photos – from commercial work to Polaroids to Africa photos to chasing around the kid at home – Jeremy Cowart‘s new site is a lovely thing. I particularly dig the abstracts and places under the personal work.
Props to Pixelgrazer and Daniel Box for the work they did on the site; it’s the natural progression of what a great web-based photography portfolio could be if people would stop using Flash for everything.
Have fun browsing. It’s inspiring.
