However, if people enjoy what you do - they will link to your site, and tell their friends about it. In terms of sales of your photography - having a good-looking and an "easy to visit" site - will generate more sales/leads from cards that you will hand out at shows and vernissages than plowing in time with search engines.
This is a very valid point. I create almost all my sites now totaly in Flash and to get around this I create the index.html page in html but geared almost exclusively for Search Engine optimisation whilst still retaining a grammatical sense. This page then leads to the Flash only pages. Sometimes I also add 'sub-pages' with keywords that just point back to the Flash pages. It might take a bit more effort but it's not the unsurmountable obstacle others would have you believe.
