I'd make it more of a hybrid... if you want to do your galleries in flash, that's fine... Flash has practical applications with galleries and the like... but as far as the main page and navigation... I'd like to see that in HTML...
when you do get around to making the HTML component of the site, remember, if clicking takes you to an external link, that shouldn't be in the navigation. External links should be kept separate... When I click on "Blog" or "Clients" I don't expect to have a new window open, and for me to actually leave your site...
If you're going to keep the blog as a part of the website, I'd look into getting the blog onto your domain, so it can be part of the actual site instead of removing users from your site... For "clients" I'd consider ditching that link... make the galleries for your clients, and then send them a link... If all of the galleries within the "clients" link will be locked, there's no need to have that page.

I'm not a professional photographer, and I don't want to be.
