Why To experience more of these United States.
Resources Along the Way Plenty
Camera Olympus D-100 set to various quality settings. I'm new to digital and decided to experiment.
Photos in the Photo log For these web pages the jpeg files were then
re-sampled to about 360 x 270 and compressed
about 15% using Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 to
reduce the transmission and display time.
The reduced photos are not as exciting as
the originals but I am expecting to hold
your attention longer with the shorter
transmission times.
