Photo Notes . . .

All photos shown were taken with a pocket zoom (35 to 70mm) Fuji camera. This was the first time
I used the camera and was very pleased with the results . . . well worth the $199 sale price.

Images were later scanned at 100 dpi and manipulated using PhotoShop and various other packages.

Unfortunately because of file size and the time required to load images over the internet, I was forced to reduce resolution substantially. . . so quality is not always what I would like it to be.

After cropping etc, pictures were compressed in "JGEP" format. As such a 500k BMP image could be reduced to 30 or 40k. The one on the right, for example, is under 30k. . . however, a great deal of image quality gets lost in the process. I really look much slimmer than this.
