The contact sheet (you know what I mean) is quite unruly, with the exception of the top part. Why not have a complete line of vertical pictures put in between the horizontals at intervals rather than verticals and horizontals mixed on the same line. A line of verticals only inserted now and then between the horizontals would make orientation much easier when scrolling the contact sheet. I find it disturbing that the arrows for moving to the next picture are always located somewhere else than on the previous picture. That makes for a lot of (unnecessary) mouse movements. Von Hulsenbeck has solved this in his Aurora Borealis submission, where there is no need to move the mouse or operate the scrol pad to go to the next picture http://home.wxs.nl/~sanderva/finland/index.htm And I agree with others who said that some editing with a view to reducing the number of pictures offered may make the essay more digestible and in that way increase viewership. On the other hand, If that was you goal, I do not know.
