John -
He's cute enough to give my niecephews a run for their money, and as I have
*the* most adorable set of niecephews going, that's saying something! ;
-)))) Although I do like your website better than my brother in law's -
loads faster! ;-)

Just thought you folks might like to meet my son Robbie. As many of you
know I am a foster dad. I have put up pictures of him on my web site.
Click on the "Meet my son" button. The thumbnails are very small so they
should load quickly. The actual pics are 800x600 and average about 175k so
if you are on dialup, beware. It will probably take about 30 seconds to
load a pic over dialup, over cable or DSL probably just a couple of
seconds.
This may be the cutest kid in Connecticut so take a gander.
Taken with a Cannon A70 3.2 mpixel digital camera at the highest resolution
(2048 x 1536), placed in JPEG format by the camera at a "very fine"
compression level. To drop the file size for the Web, as well as solve a
problem with the display image being huge, I then used Photoshop to drop
the
pixel count to 800 x 600, keeping the auto resolution at "best". The
resulting image is pretty good considering the machinations it has gone
through.
A digital camera is a great investment if you like to take photographs. I
also bought a cannon S820 photo printer and I must say the printed
photographs are stunning on Cannon high gloss paper. I can print 8x10s
that
look like they came from a photo lab.
Taken together, the printer, a 128 mbyte memory card to replace the pitiful
8 mbyte card that comes with the camera, and a Maha charger and 8 2200 mah
batteries to feed the beast, I must say it isn't cheap. However I can now
take ~76 photos at the highest resolution, and print them immediately if
they are good enough to put on paper.
Someday I may get my investment back, but just the ability to get the
photos
in my computer, email them to friends, share them with you guys via my web
page, and print them for the odd person with no computer (mom?) makes it
all
worth while. I took a ton of photos of a friend's child's birthday and
just
dropped them on a CD. Most photo labs can print from CDs now.
Anyway, check the little boy out and tell me what you think - of him and of
the photos. And yes, I am just an armature photographer.
