Horrible Layout

Im doing a site for my photographer friend and he insists on having this layout: [www.harvey-foster.com](http://www.harvey-foster.com) But I think it looks terrible. He doesnt want me to change it to much but I don`t like it at all. Can anyone pitch a couple suggestions my way about how to make it look better but keep the same layout. ie, a better button idea or something.

I like it a bunch… not terribly work-safe, though.

Well you can make the pop up window with the sets have a little more pizzaz. You could add a litle grunge stuff on the corner of the pic or the background. You could also neaten the cursive up a little; I realize the effect your trying to get but it looks to choppy.
