DesignersTalk - View Single Post - re-designed site critique please

I'm mainly concerned about load times. Keeping in mind that this is a site that is about 95% photography I would like to hear some feedback. I'm better at taking photos then web design.

westlight.net
I seem to be having issues with the buttons loading completely, not always. They were placed using DW8's "library" feature and I'm not sure if that is the problem, or if there is actually a problem.

I have a very fast dsl connection so judging load times can be difficult. All the photographs have been optimized to 75 K, plus or minus and the thumbnails on the Main Gallery page at 13K.

I thought about creating the buttons in Flash and even consider redoing the Main Gallery page in Flash. Opinions?

Thanks in advance!
