Мы недавно с Наташкой возвращались из театра пешком через центр, по Среднему Кисловскому переулку и там увидели слабоосвещенное окно на первом этаже. несколько окон. одно занимают разросшиеся на все окно кусты алоэ. через второе видно: старая люстра, большое пианино и кучи нагроможденных вещей на нем. портфели, книги, пластинки, детские игрушки - поросенок в клетчатом комбинезоне, другие. А в третье были видны старые руки с книжкой. лампа-ночник на стене. Мы решились, постучали в окно. Но вышел только охранник и сказал - уходите, сказал, тут живет старик, в прошлом хирург.

Minor problems with the front page: I couldn't see the buttons at the bottom without scrolling (picture too big - perhaps) and the instinctive thing to do when presented with just a picture is to click on it - which did nothing. There's also no indication as to what the box in the top-left corner does. A "search" already in the field would help, but I'd think you'd be better without a search-box there, (it looks out of place), as people are not going to search for stuff from a front-page. (They will click on a picture to see where it takes them, though.)
Perhaps the 'photography' and 'toys' icons should be examples of the your photographs and toys, instead of drawings?
Once you're inside though, navigation's pretty good. I'd replace the 'Home' link with a (small) 'Chushka' icon though, to ensure there's a visual indication this is your site.
A 'series' section in the 'photos' might be a good idea too, for where you've taken a bunch of photos of something or someone. And it'd be good to include comments about the series. The woman having her dress examined in 'People', for instance. Or maybe you could have icons displayed of the rest in a series when you look at the full-sized pictures of any within it.
But mostly I'd think adding comments to the pictures and a little intro to each gallery is the best way you could enhance it. They add a voice to an otherwise silent group of images. Keep them as short as possible though.
