great work tara, i'd like to see it a bit bigger as well.

Tara, I would kill the music and totally do it all in html.. unless you are selling your flash skills.
Good work btw....
I would keep the ornamentation, sorta an eastern feel to it.

babes
keep the music at the front
kill the little square doylee thing with your name on it
it looks like a fucking wedding invite
kill the silly indian icon thing
or treat it or something
it's distracting
make it less wedding invitey
congrats on all your awards

Definitely needs a bit more functionality.
I think a "next" button for viewing each set of pieces would be beneficial over having to click on the numbers, especially since there is no "preview function" for any piece (i.e. a thumbnail of a piece, or name of a piece). Hence, clicking on numbers seems a bit... well random.

I like your work. I went to RISD pre-college too, but last summer.

& come to think of it
i see what your trying to do with the indian icon thing at the front
but something about it feels very
likepaper-store

[easily updateable:]
eithercreate an xml file that lists categorize your works [client, type, date, etc...]
or [harder/better],
simple form to add images to a folder while posting work info on a db, easily retrievable by flash using php.
[regarding the design]
I would make it more folio oriented, you could still frame it with the oriental look, but make the 'frame' items smaller, and more coherent trouhout the site.

bigger images of the work, keep the site as simple as possible

i didn't get the tara connection and my mom has statues of her all around the house.
when i think of you i think more gee .. less religious
was always confused when i saw that
beautiful work and photography -- it's like a gorgeous woman .. she could wear a potato sack and still look hott!

I quibble with the concept that "mystery meat navigation" is necessarily a bad thing-- does it really matter if you know the client is someone named "Lup" before you click on the number? Is there any more reason to click on "Lup" than "Dap" if you're just looking to see various samples of a designer's work you know nothing about? It's not like you're ordering auto parts. Also, I'd only strip it down if that's what you feel is right for you in the long run. That advice migh be coming from someone who would have told you to add decorative touches six months ago. I personally might strip away some of the ornament, but your site should reflect your own sensibility.
