About
this Website
This
website is here for the sharing, promotion and sale of my artwork.
As of mid-April '08 the new look for the site is in place. An online shopping
area, newer page presentations and a new hosting company are parts of the changes.
Because it is still being
fine-tuned, more photographs and newer work are to be added soon.
Add-ons and graphics that can slow things down and consume lots of
power are not used on this website. The use of cookies and java has also
been minimized where possible.
There are
three main sections on the site, each has a mix of different photographs on display.
The GALLERY SHOP
is where you can purchase a print of my work or a download that you can print
yourself. The login and shopping pages all use a secure (ssl) connection to help
keep your information private. Cookies and java are used for the shopping site
functions such as checkout, saving a shopping cart or viewing the large photo pop-ups.
Visitor information is kept private and not shared with anyone.
The ALBUM
GALLERY section has the photographs arranged in albums that provide
a quick view of some of my work. It uses cookies and
javascript so that visitors can see pop-ups of the smaller pictures,
save favorites and create custom slideshows. Cookies are not collected by the site for the purpose of
storing any visitor information. They are only for site visitor's
convenience.
The THUMBNAIL INDEX pages
have different photographs arranged in a more traditional layout. Those pages don't use java or cookies except for
the Slideshows which use a javascript to preload, however the Slideshows
work well enough without it. The Thumbnail Index pages are located at the
bottom of the main home page.
The Google Map Index pops up in it's own window with markers and photographs at
various locations. Java is required to navigate the Map Index.
I want to reserve
my creative rights so I have marked the pictures with a large copyright © symbol. Full sized prints
and/or downloads purchased from the GALLERY
SHOP do not have that type of mark.
All of the photos here have been downsized from the originals to fit on your
screen and browser window without having to scroll.
I hope you enjoy some of the photographs. I enjoy taking them and sharing them
too.

How
this Site was Created
This reluctant Webmaster who would rather be out with
the camera used a few different programs and also some Public License
Software to create this Website. However
the old plain text editor was the fallback to iron out the details.
Comments and critiques about the website (and the photos too) are very much
welcomed.
Credits where they are due and links are on this page: Links

Linking
to this Site
Webmasters can link to any public page on this site. No direct links to any
picture, photograph or file without the full HTML page that it resides on is
allowed.
Websites
that have a direct link and listing to the home page or The Gallery Shop home
page will get a reciprocal listing on the Links
& Credits
page. Send a message
through the contact form with the address of the link that this site is listed
on and which link should be listed here.
Browsers
I have tried to build in backwards compatibility for older versions (5 and 6) of
Internet Explorer. There are limits and some pages may not be easy to browse
because of that.
Firefox 2.xx and Internet Explorer 7 seem to work fine. If you have trouble
browsing this site and you think it might be because of browser compatibility
please use the Contact
Form
to inform the webmaster.
Note: The rainbow background was cropped from the original at left. That rainbow
was a full-arc double which can be seen here and at the top of the page.
