Your main title 'Nicolaus Pro' is very pixelated - The 'Photography' word is good, but the contact addresses are similarly badly rounded. Not sure what happened here.

I used my school computer for "Photography" Which has CS2 on it. I used Avalon as a font for that. I only have CS on My computer, and apparently, CS does not have the Avalon font. I will most likely redo them when school starts again.

Thanks!

Personal Opinion: Simply your bio page. I found myself re-reading a couple times what was there. Try not to use such large font- or differing font sizes for that matter- on a single page either.

I have not launched my site, but look at the popular flash sites from blu and others, see what works on their sample sites. That's ultimately what I did.

in addition to what everyone else said, i found myself kind of confused when looking through your portfolio images... what does that dog have to do with sports?

Your bio reads like you grabbed half the words from a thesaurus and in the process sacrificed the precision of your message (for example, "a conduit in which to endeavor.." doesn't really make any sense, and if it does, you've chosen a very awkward way to say what you're trying to say). Also, you should have someone edit this page for you because there are several misspelled words and/or typos and/or grammatical errors. That said, kudos to you for coming this far with your own site.

Perhaps "have given him a conduit in which to endeavor" could be changed to "have allowed him to endeavor"

Also, writing a bio in 3rd person tense is so played out. As if anyone actually believes that somebody else is writing your bio?

Probably back in the vault where they belong, since they don't seem to add anything to your portfolio.

I'd burn that entire bio section. It's a distraction in its current state. You might simplify it and just replace it with a short blurb and ways to contact you.

Also, the photos are very small. Do whatever you can to maximize photo size.

what's the purpose of your website?

most of the photos appear to be more geared towards your friends and family and far from a professional site. The bio looks horrendous.

If you're using this as a tool to market yourself as a photography I'd strongly suggest waiting until you get a lot stronger content.

There are very, very few photos in there that are really portfolio worthy at the moment. Keep working on it.
