I would not focus too much on the colors I picked... Pick off the pages and try something for yourself. I am not, I repeat, am not an artistic person. If nothing else were done other than to swap out the drap gray, I would be happy.

Just some ideas....

>>Maybe it is the gray background? Maybe it is the orientation of the frames. I am not sure. I do think however, this place could use a face lift of sorts.

> Ugh.. I don't like the background color. Maybe something like: for the bottom frames? At least something a little lighter than the pumpkin color. I wonder if the two sides should be the same color but one side slightly lighter/darker? Or, if you've ever seen sites that use an alternating color (like www.onebox.com) for a background, something like that in the right color might work.

I'd still want the option for the pictures, since it's nice having a face to go along with the poster, even if it increases the bandwith.
