That is actually a very nice layout, template thing for a personal site.
In fact I love it, did you do it all yourself?
A couple of things though:
1) Make the title text a little bolder and more readable...
2) All the black and white photos in the main content bit... Nice idea but they spoil it a bit... Perhaps more like the one up above the navigation.
3)Instead of that strange grey background behind the content, perhaps a plain slightly transparent grey box? May just make it look slightly neater and nicer.
