Very nice!
Others have said what I though but here goes again!

1) All that white space? Fill it with something. It's begging for some fancy photoshop montage with a fancier logo on it.

2) Nice links bar on the left but get rid of the "Navigation" heading and move it all right up.

Nice clean site.

I agree that the pages need titles/headers - Perhaps that is what all that whitespace is begging to be used for.

I also agree that the font is a little small on the subpages and not consistent with what you used on the home page.

Your external links should be distinguished/separated
somehow from the site navigation.

Some of those scans could use a visit to the photoshop spa and you definitely need height/width tags.

Another suggestion is to include a next/previous option in the popup window to allow an interested party to clycle through all the photos in a gallery without continuously referring back to the thumbnails

The above is true but something I always leave until I'm absolutely certain that my navigation is set in stone. Otherwise, it makes global changes to the navigation much more difficult.

Looks good. A few small points...

You could do with spell checking your text. A quick way would be to copy and paste your text into Word.

If you are going to keep the 'navigation' heading it should not be underlined as it looks like another link itself.

The page you are on does not need its navigation entry to be an active link. So, for example on the "car" page remove the hyperlink from the "car gallery" entry on the left.

I like it a lot. I do agree with the font size though, after a while it does make reading hard on the eyes and take off the "Navigation" it spoils the look.

Very good and interesting

links are blue in Netscape 4.7 as well
you have "a.:link" etc for you stylesheets, remove the . (a:link) and it will change the links in netscape, the a hover works in Net 6 but not in Net 4.7

you should use width and height tags in your image tags, make your page load faster and neater for one.

in Ie the main table is alined to the left, in Netscape 4.7 and 6 its aligned to the center reason: you have ( topmargin="0" leftmargin="0") in your body tag, for this to be complete you need the netscape part of it, so it should be: (topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0")

in Netscape 4.7 you have a black border around the pic of lynn

You need a header or title on each page, they all look the same and you have no way of knowing which page you are on, at least change the a:visted to another color

the thumbnail links wont work in netscape, only in ie, again you need to use the width and height tags, also in netscape you have to scroll sideways on that page, more on net6

you'd be suprised, I and others I have spoken to find Netscape 6 more stable than 4.7, sure it has some bugs but so has IE 5, Netscape 6.1 is to be released soon and I think IE 6 is just about out of beta, my brother had IE 6 and from what I saw we are in for major problems.

netscape 6 is so similar to ie 5, making it work for version 4 of netscape is the hard part

IN NS 6 for some reason I'm seeing blue links on the side instead of yellow - this browser does weird things with stylesheets somtimes (and like I said before, hardly anyone's using it so you probably don't have to worry too much)

The only thing I can really complain about with the design is that there's too much white space at the top. You should probably move that all up to the top. The copyright statement is really sqashed on the bottom there too, and with so many good orinal photos on there you'll want to make the copyright clear. Most of the photos look kind of washed out to me too - if you have Photoshop you should fix the levels to show more contrast if you can, unless they're supposed to be like that. It would be nice to have some captions on them too - especially in the travel gallery.

On the rest of the pages, I'm finding the font to be way too small. Oh, and one more thing - you don't have to title "navigation" - that should be obvious.

Overall it looks very good!
