"Clean" and "simple" gallery designs

The pics don't work for me because they lack context (i.e. it just looks to me like photos of a naked girl in the woods).

I remember listening to a photographer (a guy who takes landscape photos from choppers) talk about how lack of captions underneath his photos shortened the time people spent looking at each of his photos.

In other words, I prefer reading about where you were, what were you doing there, who you went there with, and what you were thinking / feeling at the time.

This isn't to say I dislike your sales text. But if you have a killer tour, then I'd trust the tour with the sales pitches and make sure the photos and text in the gallery is going to leave a guy with a throbbing dick and maaaybe a pounding heart... That personal touch is what separates impersonal content-oriented sites like Videosz from FurryGirl which I assume has alot more to offer than pics and vids.

Also, if you got rid of photos in the gallery where you make eye contact with the camera, the gallery will not only rake in surfers turned on by public-nudity porn but also those who get off on voyeur porn.
