Snow drifted gently down. The birds didn’t notice; none were around to see.

More coming as it comes here.

UPDATE 2005-01-24: I’ve reprocessed “Lone Evergreen” and “Tobacco Icebox”. Boy, it’s nice to have Adobe Camera RAW instead of DiMAGE Viewer, and Photoshop instead of The GIMP (which is great software that needs a faster Unsharp Mask with live preview). The result is that both images are more pleasing and not oversharpened anymore. I’m still working on adding images into this gallery and I might reprocess a couple more, so don’t give up on it yet.

Gallery should work now.

I’m at home, but that can be discussed some other time.

Some slightly older posts with multiple photos have been “more’d” to reduce loading times for those of you on slower connections (and to generally save on bandwitdh). Just click on “more” at the end to see the rest of the photos. In the future, photo posts will only contain a couple of highlights then just point at the photo gallery (which is, of course, the whole point).

I expect a large number of family members and people vaguely related to my family will be around here at some time in the near future, due to this website’s inclusion in this year’s Christmas letter. In light of this, be sure to check out my sister’s website if you’re looking for writing which has been certified USDA Prime, as opposed to my Utility cuts. Of course, feel free to dig back on this site too.

Some Ukranian history from the WWII era: The Serpent’s Wall. Lots of artifacts and a bit of history about the Eastern Front, so often forgotten by us in the States. About eleven million soldiers of the Red Army and Navy were killed during WWII.

Anyways, lots of very interesting photographs and information. (Found here.)

I’ve started working on the photogallery. I’ve ended up using singapore instead of either of the other two solutions. It’s a pretty elegant management system, and the only major drawback is a lack of support for EXIF data, which is being worked on. I plan on trying to patch in the EXIF support after I get the styling fixed.

The photo gallery can be found here. Note that the styling is still pretty broken as of this post. Hopefully I’ll be able to work more on all this this weekend.
