have
maintained
this web site since
1995. I write and create photos because I enjoy it. People tell me they enjoy reading this site, so I keep it going. However... This site has cost me a lot of hours, and a lot of money. And, unlike my writing for magazines or books, there is no publisher sending me checks for the work I do on this site. So... | Tydirium
