I thought some of you might enjoy this. Jeff Bridges (the actor) has been using a Widelux camera documenting behind the scenes of his movies for over 20 years. I'm not familiar with the Widelux but it looks really interestingly unique.

JeffBridges.com

If you google him there is more info on the history of him and that camera.

Some interesting shots, but his site layout sucks!

Thanks northman.

Layout is fine on the right screen JT

I disagree.

The main page is cluttered and hard to navigate with huge font and a fixed-width layout, while the subsequent pages are tiny-fonted, with tiny pictures, and a a colossal-width fixed layout that is different from the main page - why? More real-estate is spent on the page dressing than on the content, and given that these should be huge prints presenting them as unclickable (!) near-thumbnails is not doing them justice.

Bottom line: The art direction is personal, but it's just not merged with functionality; I stopped browsing.

There are a three or four easy 15-minute things the designer could do to increase usability and enjoyment of that page. (Mister Bridges, if you're looking for a redesign, give me a call ;))

The website is a nightmare IMHO.

On a 22-inch wide-screen with Firefox it works just fine!

Yes. No photos for you! (Using soup-nazi dialect)
