eventually the plan is to have groups of three pictures that always stay
together, in the same order. When I was setting it up, I noticed the same
thing and was getting annoyed, but I have about 30 more pics I'm going to
add, and create groups for. There are also landscape shots that I have on my
current site that I will want to move to the new site.

It seems to me that adding in CSS stuff would make the page size much bigger
than it already is, I've also had issues in the past with CSS generated
placement not always coming out exactly the same on some browsers and
operating systems, whereas well defined tables do. I tend to run across a
number of people who continue to use outdated browsers, where the CSS
support is still sketchy, especially when trying to sell portraits and
weddings in this area.

Subject: Re: FW: New Website, what do you think
Preface: This criticism isn't personal, just cutting to the chase to
get to the things I think could use improvement.
The home page seems poorly balanced. It's particularly odd on a large
screen, but even when I resize down to the content it still feels like
the space is poorly arranged. The interior layout is okay, but I'd
consider not craming it up against the edge. I'd probably let if float
horizontally in the center of the space.
I'm not a big fan of the typeface. You could keep it for the "McClure
Photography" wordmark, but I would choose something else for the other
type.
I notice that the three pictures at the top of each page are randomly
selected. IMO, if you care about your portfolio, you will care about
how the pictures are selected and displayed. They aren't just three
separate photos. They create a visual tryptic and create tenion or
harmony as a group Quite often I would get pictures that just didn't
work together. Whether it was something like [B/W | B/W | Color] or
[Wideshot | Closeup | Closeup] or two pictures that were obviously
from the same event and one from another or photos with too even or
too conflicting of tonality.
And of course, I have to add the obligatory jab about using sliced
table layout instead of being one of the cool kids and using CSS
positioning. ;-)
