Articles Index (and archive)
In this space you will find links to our articles about photography, places to photograph and travel, photo-related Web
sites (including this one), computers and software, and links. I'll also have the occasional article about environmental
issues, but I find such writing has become a frustrating and often depressing endeavor, so I'm doing less of it.
New articles will appear on an irregular basis. The information presented here is based on my own experiences and/or
research in the areas listed above. When I find an interesting place to photograph, had a fun or unusual experience making
pictures somewhere, or simply have a good story to tell related to making, preparing, or displaying photographs,
you'll find it here.
The Articles are listed below by date, with a synopsis; newest work is at the top. As more articles are added we may change
the format of this page, but with only a few entries thus far, this should be adequate. Comments are welcome.
I hope you enjoy the articles. Use the contact link at left if you'd like to comment on anything you read here.
