You're offering to sell me pictures before you even show them to me?
Not good. And then I have to hunt around to find the Photo Galleries
link (which isn't as apparent as it might be, because my cursor
doesn't turn into a "link" hand). And then I have to click again to
get into one of four galleries.
You'd be better off with thumbnails on the homepage and a discreet,
"Oh, and you can buy these." message at the bottom.
Just a thought.

I found no problem navigating (I passed the test other
referred to).
I found it interesting that you have the thumbnails displayed
and you just click on the image appears below. Neat.
However, unless one has a very large screen, one needs to scroll
up and down constantly (I did on larger galleries and I have
a 21-inch monitor with 1280x1024 pixels).
Second, it seems that all the high res images load--you
have no choice. People with slow conntections will not
like that. if you click on an thumbnail image while all the high
res are loading, loading stops (Netscape 4.7x) so you never
see the thumbs. And I can't click on a blank image and see it.
I must reload the whole page from scratch and wait.
Neat concept, but flawed. Only load small thumbs not full res.
Perhaps put them to the side (monitors are wider than tall),
and put no more than fit vertically with the main image.
I've seen this in a few other web sites--nice.
Many nice images though.
