The design is great and this is a really nice way to display a travel album, but the experience is not there. I'm sure when testing over a local network this is fast but even over my 30mbps connection I had to wait a long time for all of the images to load. That's not normally a problem but the page seemed totally 'frozen' until about half of the pictures had loaded, and scrolling was full of jank until it was totally loaded.

Is there some way you could put placeholders in for the images while they load so that I can scroll around? If I wasn't waiting to see the demo specifically I would have assumed the page was broken and clicked out.
