I like it a lot... except I'm a big fan of grey backgrounds. Have you tested a medium or dark grey? What program did you use to design site? I would also like to see a slight shadow
line acting as a border (just my preference). I'm building my own site, and haven't figured out how to put a pinline border or shadowline around image. I don't see the feature in photoshop.

You may be working on it right now. I don't see a site, just a splash page (not a fan of spash pages). Nice photo there.

You can put a border on an image with html/css, or you can put a border and/or shadow on an image in PS. There are several ways to do it, none are hard. Do a search in this forum for 'drop shadow' or 'adding border'. Plenty of websites with step by step instructions. Here is one site: http://bermangraphics.com/tips/photoshopds.htm
and here is another link to a good pdf with step by step instructions. http://www.scrapbook-elements.com/tu...rop-Shadow.pdf

Borders can be done in a similar way using styles, though there are other ways as well.

Place a cursor over the "wasted earth:austin" click should change to red. If you have blocked active x or java scripting you will not be able to see the flash gallery;large images in flash working on loading screen. Thanks for looking.

Infrared: I have played with several background colors, I settled on the white. Felt that tthe grey bg washed out the high contrast imagery.

Dropshadow: when working on your image - expand the canvas size by 10-20 pixels - double click the photo layer and add a drop shadow, adjust the depth, strength, and size. Usethe layer effects. Thanks for the look!

Hello:

When I saw the first picture, I was wondering how you got a picture from the shuttle. After seeing your additional shots I realized I was not looking at a view from the shuttle in space but rather another pile of trash. This leads me to ask, Why take pictures of trash?

I don't think a lot of people want to buy pictures of trash.

What is the real purpose of your site?

If it is political you should add text that helps the pictures make a point. If it is an artistic collection then verbage explaining your vision about why trash is important would help the viewer.

Matt,

Revisited your site just now, again flash won't show in FF 1.5. It flickers a line about 10 pixels where the top of the flash file is supposed to be for about 1/10 of a second then nothing (just the back button). Thought you would want to know.
