I made a delightfully successful presentation to the Carmel Foundation March 26, 2007. Among other compliments, they asked me to publish a book of my images. One gentleman opined that their group had seen thousands of photos of Big Sur, but that I "had 'captured Big Sur' as we really know it."

Jan 2009 - Clicking on images in a gallery finally works for most images - though not yet for all images. Clicking on image titles in a gallery does work - when the page for the single image has been created. Please let me know if you can't find an image.
You cannot yet see large high quality versions of the images because they are not yet adequately protected from those who might "borrow" the images without permission.
The only functions implemented are to View --
Galleries of images, and
Categories of small individual images, and
A slideshow of a dozen or so individual images and their associated poem.
*** Not all images are available on this website yet as of March 11, 2009. While I have some 80,000 images, this site only exhibits some 100, with only 15 or so in the slideshow. The slide shows for Carmel Foundation and Big Sur's Henry Miller gallery exhibited some 250 images - with only a small overlap.
That's it - for now. (But always try the "More" button at the bottom of the page)
If you have some suggestions for improvements – just let me know.
Ten Percent (10%) of every sale goes directly to HOPE (Helping Our Peninsula's Environment).
*** NEW – Testing Automatic Slideshow software as of August 6, 2006.
If you leave any screen (this is entirely separate from the slideshow) for more than about 10 seconds, it will advance to the next set of 4 images. It will loop around when it gets to the end. At any time, you may click the titles (not the images) of any set of 4 images that shows up to change direction.
You can use it as a rotating fine art show when you aren’t working on your computer.
*** Let me know if you like this feature – or not. Since this is rather expensive software to license - If you like this "feature" (or not) please let me know.
