The thumbs are distorted, looks like the height/width ratio got lost when
the thumbs were created? They are also rather small, it's not easy to see if
I really want to look closer on a model or not. I think the thumbs page
would be better with larger thumbs, and maybe even some text on each one?

Well, that's because that is exactly what we did. Jon wanted small, square
thumbs. Since they were so small we figured the distortion wouldn't be that
bad, compared to simply clipping the image. (This is all automatic of course.
So cropping on a per image basis isn't a possibiliy.) You're the second
person to mention this, so do you think it is that noticeable? Are there any
certian thumbs that show this clearly?

Most images are centered enough that cropping an eighth off either side won't
clip a significant part of the picture.  You could also do more abstract thumbs
that use only a small portion of the image, but then you would need some
descriptions along with the thumbs, or bigger thumbs for the actual image
gallery.
