Why doesn't my website have all the bells and whistles of a modern website?  No 'flash'. No 'slide shows'. No 'fancy' pages. Well, it's because that's how I wanted it to be - plain and simple.  My idea was to slow down the viewing process so that visitors would actually spend a few seconds more looking at my images.  After all, if one goes to a photographic exhibition, or gallery, one tends to savour the moment rather than rush through the process of looking just to get to the bar for a quick snifter before leaving.  What I have found with a lot of websites is they look pretty, and even super functional, but they are not condusive to the same kind of display one gets with gallery exhibitions.  I have tried to create that same kind of atmosphere with my simple site, so please enjoy it and let me know if I have got the philosophy all wrong in your opinion.
