Reviews would still be present, definitely, but they’ll be more of featured articles.
I’m targeting further expansion of my visual story telling through more photos across the site. Whether it’s an old section like The CATALOGUE, the relaunched One Shots galleries, or even quick blog posts. That also includes the new photo-oriented and responsive site layout.
