Thanks for your comments!  

I know that some of those links were back to my computer, and I am in
the process of changing those.

The links that don't change color on the commercial page have not been
designed, hence no link.

Yeah, I was sort of torn about the slide show vs. the thumbnails.  It is
my intention to design the show in a specific sequence (not established
yet) and then to have a pop-up "slide table" where the images will be
thumbnail with links to larger images.

All are very great comments - keep them coming!  Also, did you have to
scroll to see the images?  Do you think that they were too big?

 None of the 'portfolio: commercial' pages load -- they all come up with
a
single image describing what's meant to be there, then it waits for the
remaining '4 items' to come up and never gets anywhere. The first page
doesn't load, actually -- it gets stuck waiting for 2 images. (I'm
guessing
the mouseover for valeo electronics and one other; that one doesn't
highlight, though the cursor does change to the link cursor -- but I
can't
click through that link).

 Ah, here's something; checking the source for the pages that don't
load, I
find:
src="file:///S|/Project            0.000000iles/0000/GNR%20Personal            
0.000000olders/rgg/gries/
Libr
ary/email.swf" 

 which should presumably point at an http: link rather than a file:
link.

 The slideshows work fine, though my personal preference is for
thumbnail
pages -- the individual images only seem to stay there for two or three
seconds, which isn't long enough to get a decent look.

 Oh, and in the journal pages, you spell it ante/post meridian, not
...em.

 As for the photos, they're really nice -- very 'clean' somehow, which
goes
well with the design of the whole site.

 (hey, weird -- now I go back to the 'residential' page, I just get the
header from the 'fort worth zoo' page, whereas before I got a slideshow.
Ah,
now the slideshow starts, it just took some time to get going)
