I like the B&W theme on the opening page. I think you could emphasize the "photo" look by putting the picture "corners" that you would see on the four corners of a picture in an old photo album. To me, the script font is very hard to read. I don't mind a script font, but find one that is a bit e

I was also going to say that I'm not a fan of the random image approach for this site. in this case I would want to craft the message I'm trying to convey and picking the right image is part of that. It's a control thing. Using a random image to me is saying that the image isn't really important.
