Second Website Critique

I have been looking at David Burnett's photography website, and I like certain elements of it, but I hate many of the navigation tools in the site.

I really love his basic layout, I like the white background with the Navigation bar to the right that is unchanged on each page. the entire site looks very clean. I believe that this is one of the most important elements of a photographers website. It should be clean and completely out of the way. The entire idea is to get the potential future employer to see what you are doing and it should help them navigate through your site without being distracted or confused by the site itself.

Once I started to look into his galleries I noticed an annoying trend. When you scroll through his galleries a large white arrow appears that sits on top of his image. This arrow lets you move forward to the next image. This already annoys me and it should annoy and photographer. He has a flash navigation bar at the bottom of the screen that sits nicely over the white background and this is really handy and looks great.

When I was looking at his tab for his books I clicked on a link that was supposed to direct me to a link where I could buy his book. Every link on the page leads me to the next page where it says Forbidden, Error 403.

In the end I think they have a good design and layout, but they need to fix the links, and I would recommend trying to find a way to push those arrows off his image. Otherwise I was very impressed with the website.
