Now, on to the site: 1) everything seems rather disjointed. You have several completely different types of visual element that are kind of tacked in together, but have no apparent reason to be... The odd typeface for the headers, the crayon-like underline, and the film reel look are all very distinct stylistically, and they really don't work together here. You need to find a way to pull thos elements together - the film seems to be the strongest element, so basing the other two on that theme seems a good place to start. However, my first thouight would really be - what does a film strip have to do with this guys' qaulifications? Is he a film-maker, a photographer, an actor? 2) The tree background image. Again, it doesn't really relate to the other 3 elements, or to the content of the site. Assuming for the moment that the particular image does fit, there needs to be some separation where the text comes into play. Creating a box with a faded version of the same image, allowing easier readibility would be my suggestion - setting it up so that the content area appears to be translucent over the background image. 3) COLOR! The links and bold text need to break out of the monocrhomatic scheme, or else my eyes just want to fall asleep. A nice low-saturated blue would work well here. I think this is a step in the right direction form your previous attempt. What it needs is a serious dose of visual cohesion, a dash of contrast, and a serious review of visuals vs content: make the visuals match the content, or the content loses focus.
