Yep.

IMO, Photographers web sites built in Flash=FAIL. « Visual Reserve Blog:

"I love to visit other photographers web sites and I love to critique them to myself. I’m very proud of mine and when I set out to have it redesigned I had a few goals in mind (speed, load-time, functionality, mobile compatibility, etc.)

The one thing I knew that I did not want my site to be was a Flash site. IMO, Flash web sites are slow, take up resources on a persons computer, not very SEO-friendly, images/pages can’t be bookmarked in the browser, etc.

My web site is 99.9% html. The only Flash is on the front page to make the grey bars fade in and out. It’s not even needed and if you go to my site on a non-Flash enabled device the site still works the exact same way.

The reason I say all of this to you, fellow photographers, is this. I just bought my first iPhone, the new 3GS. It’s a great phone and I find myself using it way more than I thought. I use it waiting in line, at the airport, around the studio and home, sitting on the toilet (sorry) and sometimes even when I’m in front of my computer."
