We have a new URL

Hi there, Dennis here, good of you to stop by.  Your resident story teller and in-house sage, that’s me, is at your service.   I will post or try to, short articles about making and enjoying and utilizing, images, on a weekly basis.  I hope you enjoy, finding them interesting and  stimulating. Most of the articles will have images attached to them but you will need to look inside for the complete display. Should that stimulation lead to discussion and question, by all means participate.  If you see an image in any of the galleries and wish to know more about it or have some artistic or technical comments, please feel free to express yourself.   If you want to share any of them with anyone else,  please do.  Dennis
