Mon, October 8, 2007 - 12:38 AMI think you are there, you just have to wait for it to load. There are 23 images per page, each image is about 8K, so it shouldn't take long.

Mon, October 8, 2007 - 8:43 AMI'd like to see the images, though 8K isn't going to give me a very good view of each one. Somewhere around 100K at 72dpi would be a lot better for viewing and would still be too small for anyone to make a print. Or better yet, go for something like 800x600 pixels at 72dpi. And if you drop a mostly transparent copyright and/or website on the bottom, then it would amount to free advertising.
However, in the meantime, you or your programmer needs to test the thing on multiple browsers. I posted what I see on a Windows machine using the Firefox browser. I am not a fan of slideshows, but since nothing at all came up, I clicked on it and it opened a new window, but the slideshow feature didn't seem to work. But underneath, suddenly I could see the other images, unfortunately I seemed to be looking at both pages one and two overlaid. (I had tried clicking on the 2 before doing the slideshow).

Thu, October 11, 2007 - 2:22 AMThanks Brandon for taking the time. I may extend the size of the images, but that will be at a later date. I saw as you say the imprinting of a transparent copyright on Magnum images, but it was after I had dropped them all down to that size because that was a means to protect them. One of the things I may work toward is a general class action against the copying/borrowing of photographer's works that they are not aware of because it diminishes the value of all our photographs and art in general. There has to be a sense of the limit of our works so that value is increased and not diminished. I also see the problem of appropriation in that on one level other's creations (as in architectural features or products, for example) are incorporated in our depictions of reality. We include the visual presentation of property that does not belong to us and yet by its presence in the public domain it is fair game. As photojournalists of what seems to represent newsworthy or cathartic views, we seem to have to document these visions of what for us tell the truth of our realities.
But, those who take because such images may reflect them and do not compensate the makers, they diminish the value of the stolen works and spit upon the photographers in this case who have made them. We as artists have to respect ourselves if we are ever going to assure a living. As photographers, the very medium of the Internet is like having prints and no one seems to pay for copying them. Someone once said that the repeated use or seeing of an image does not diminish it, but I disagree. On one level, first sight makes the image into a cliche.
I am sorry about the problems you are having viewing my work. I noticed also the bunching of images that were called by turning the pages and did not load quickly enough. I am sorry, but this is the technology I have to work with at the moment. I am waiting on software. It's on order.
