I originally had "non-people" shots in their own category, but it didn't really seem to be anything cohesive... I wonder about cutting the non-people shots a bit more and spreading them out a bit rather than chunking them at the end... I know some photographers do this to great effect (Chase Jarvis for example has people/non-people shots mixed in his galleries and it totally works)... I guess I just have to find the right flow for my own work. Sometimes it can be maddeningly frustrating, no? :-) Thanks Tanya,

Have you tried a people/portrait/human/breathing/etc gallery alongside a still life gallery? Your still life is great, but the work with people is better, so by the time I get through the people I'm not as impressed with the still life. I like the flow in general, just not that change.

Your still life is great, but the work with people is better, so by the time I get through the people I’m not as impressed with the still life.

I like the flow in general, just not that change. Ideas?
