The time has come for 'Show and Tell'...

Finally you have arrived at the fun part of this website

Please notice that this 'entrance' page to the Image Galleries has a top navigating menu that other pages don't have.

This menu provides easy access to the different Image Galleries. The content of each is described below. To view some of these galleries you will need to have installed Flash Player (at least version 7). If you need to install it or need to upgrade your version you can download version 10.0 for free. Loading the galleries could take few second.

These galleries have been prepared using different techniques and methods. Some have been built using Flash while ohters used applets and JavaScript. SlideShow Pro Flash component was customized to present the Slide Show Galleries first listed below. The variety on presentation is to show the flexibility of methods to present images on a webpage. Each method has advantages and disadvatages, and each must be considered according to the circumstances surrounding the software used, hosting services, targeted audience and desired results.

Description of Galleries

Slide Show Galleries ~ Various galleries each containing photo albums presented in slide shows.

ArtEx Gallery ~ This gallery contains what I call ArtEx albums (ARTistically EXpressed photographs). The original photos were digitally manipulated to different degrees, some resulting as illustrations, others as filter-rich interpretations. There are six albums in this gallery, two with candid photos of PEOPLE, friends and strangers, one of each: ZOO ANIMALS, FUNKY FRUITS and ORCHIDS. The last album has 25 artisic interpretations of ARTEX IN NATURE. Hope you enjoy them! (Last uploaded: Sept/09)

Gifts of Nature ~ This continually growing gallery now contains six albums. Two exquisit albums are on exotic ORCHIDS, then one with beautiful and colourful and BIRDS, the next with BEES, BUGS AND DRAGONFLIES. Two new ones are the CREEPY SPIDERS and the BUTTERFLIES... check them out! (Last uploaded: May/09)

Hues & Tones Gallery ~ The Full & Quasi Monorchome album presents b/w, sepia and subdue colours images. (Uploaded: December/07)

MEXICO ~ A gallery of our trip to Mexico in November 2006 starting with photos from Cuernavaca, Morelos and Acapulco, Guerrero. (Last uploaded: March/08)

Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico ~ This gallery with eleven albums will introduce you to this colonial city of Central Mexico with its many interesting and artistic aspects, people, art, landacapes, churches, crafts, buildings. A must see! (Uploaded: March/08)

The Day of the Dead ~ A gallery containing various albums of photos of our trip to Mexico in November 2006 for the festivities of "Día de los Muertos". (Uploaded: July/07)

Raster Images: Raster images are resolution sensitive and can not be scaled up without loosing quality. A good example of raster images are photographs. The ones presented here are photographic images creatively manipulated, mostly with Adobe Photoshop v 6.0 and CS. This section contains the following sub menus:

Portfolio I ~ Pieces of work I have developed during my year of preparation towards obtaining the Adobe ACE Expert Certification. Lots of fun work! The presentation of this portfolio was created using Flash MX 2004.

By Category These next four galleries were also built in Flash MX2004.

People ~ Photos of people are always challenging, these photos are of friends, family and other interesting people I have met or crossed paths with.

Still Life ~ From a fruit basket to household objects, the items around ourselves reflect much about our styles and preferences.

CityScapes ~ New and old buildings, interesting street corners, an old house or church... so much beauty and culture surrounding our everyday routes.

Flowers & Nature ~ Now... this is one of my favourite subjects as you will soon realize. Perhaps because the cold Canadian Winters make me long for spring's favourite symbol... flowers!

Random Show ~ A selection of images running in a loop with periodical additions and changes. This gallery was prepared using an Applet.

Vector Images: Time consuming to develop, original vector images are scalable without loosing resolution, therefore can be scalable to print to any size, vector images are for the most part computer made illustrations.

Portfolio II ~ Illustrations created using Adobe Illustrator. The presentation of this portfolio was created using Flash MX 2004.

If you would like to purchase any of my images, either in digital or print format, I have prints of many of them in artistic archival paper in various size formats: from small 5x7, 8x10, and 10x14 to a larger 16x20 inches. They make gorgeous pictures! Also, I could print an image of your choice to your specifications. For more information please contact me, I will be happy to price the item for you at a rate you can not refuse! :-)
