All the thumbnails, when clicked on, open big in the same window and say something to the effect of close the window to get back--but the open in the same window, so if you close the window, you'd be closing the only window open?!
ah. do you have that tab thing going? see, in IE, the thumbnails open up to a completely separate window, and closing it will just return you to the gallery. maybe I need to add "Firefox users, close this tab"? hmm.
You don't know me, but I figured I'd chip in my two cents anyway.
1) Site works wonderfully with tabbed browsing, which is a nice change (not many like this do.) Although it does leave me with a "to return to ..." message, and if I press the X in the corner I lose everything. You may want specify: "if this opened in a new window" or delete it entirely--most people should figure out what's going on without the message.
2) Background doesn't look bad but doesn't seem to be "pale lilac" easier--it's kind of gray. Not ugly by any means, though.
3) Put border=0 on the images and change the link color. The default blue is really, really ugly as a general rule, and doesn't work on lilac in particular. Chose something that fits the page better
( ... )
1) The thing is - the site is going to be viewed by a lot of people who have more money than sense. I'm afraid if I don't tell them how to get back to the gallery, they won't be able to figure it out.
2) Interesting. I may check into that a bit more.
3) See, I thought border=0 was the code. But I swear, the first time I tried it it didn't work at all. Maybe IE was just having a weird day. How do I change the link color?
4) Thanks! I'm definitely of the less-is-more school of web design. (and most things, unless you're talking shoes. In which case, more is definitely more. ;)

I'm on Firefox 1.0, Mac OSX if that matters.

It's perfect.
Oh, and the background isn't pale lilac, it's white.
