Paolo,

I really like your photos. Although I live on the other coast, I have visited my son in New York City a few times over the last year+ and have come to appreciate the opportunities for street photography there (he lives in the far north Washington Heights area - very near Fort Tryon Park, but I roam the city while he is at work). Your project has given me inspiration for my next visit.

Thanks for the feedback, Cid. Which browser are you using? In general, apart some glitches when I launched the site, I did not receive complains about the speed. Looking forward to hearing from others! ;)

(way) too much js; 1+ sec load times for some

there's also a lot of other calls going on in the back-end that could be avoided; what kind of service do you have installed?

Just a theme (probably a bit heavy) and a few of plugins for lightbox, social buttons, supercache... I spent some time optimizing it and running tests with webpagetest and I now get mostly As and Bs. First byte time is still not good.

it's not only about loading times, but in chrome I can't even scroll fluently trough gallery (IE is bit better with that)

Strange...I just tested it on chrome (both mac and pc) and it works fine. I will check again.
thanks again for the feedback.

you are welcome, I was just pointing that out because pictures are all very nice and this little issue is hurting the impression a bit

btw: right now I'm home @chrome 31.0.1650.57 @mac and the lagging is not issue anymore...
