Somebody over at Surmunity started a new stock photo website and I really like it. Instead of the crazy price tags you see everywhere, each photo is only 99 cents. They are also royalty free, so you can use them for whatever you want: websites, desktop backgrounds, movies, etc. Head over to the stock photos website and check it out. There are quite a few great photos already.

I was stumbling through pages tagged with photography and I remembered something that I really hate, and is used on a lot of photographer’s websites. The number one complaint is of course that it is flash. But mostly, it’s those stupid flash pages.

Almost every single photographer’s website has a flash page with a little logo, and text that says “enter” or “enter site.” Hey, web designer: Do you know why I went to the site in the first place? to go to the site! Why do I need to go to your site and then enter the site! It’s ridiculous! And then you want to all open another window on me resized however the hell you want. I browse with tabs. If your site breaks out of my tabs, you can be guaranteed that I won’t be staying on your site any longer than it takes me to click the close button.
