First thing i noticed is the stretched photo in the bottom left. You are a photographer, why would you want to display images like that? It doesn't reflect highly on the quality of photography company or the skills of the website designer.
It needs some better organization, right now there are sections just placed on a page. The site clearly lacks structure. For instance, why is JG in the left and right corners? why is there a big grey rectangle in the lower section of the page. Why would you have the menu overlap your content?
I recommend you do some searching for website layouts, perhaps look at other photography sites for inspiration. Even take a look at the the post in this forum titled "CSS Touch". The templates on that site give a decent idea of structure. It is key to guide a visitors eye around the page, have a logical flow.
Hope this helps, good luck.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
@ Ian: I know about the stretched image and will be taking care of that. I'm not quite sure what you mean about the menu overlapping the rest of the site? That only happens when you hover over portfolio and the different categories?
@Pixel: As i said to Ian, I know about the stretched image, but I'm not actually the photographer, the photographer is a close family friend. I just finished college and looking to get into web design. When i try to edit the image to fit that size it just stretches and i tell him to do it but he hasn't got round to that yet.
The JG in the top left hand corner is a logo and in the top right hand corner, it's a title?
In the big grey section i planned to have buttons for site map and contact, but they were very slow loading. I took out the bar to see what it looks like, and i think it looks even more ridiculous. (www.jasongold.org/index2) So now I'm stuck with what to do with it.
Again thanks for all the constructive criticism.
