That sort of photo might hold some, um, negative connotations for certain people (especially those attending college) in light of a recent event. Just sayin'...

Otherwise, I don't really like having to scroll down to see the rest of the page. In fact, I have to scroll down to see the rest of the "BANNON", and I have a large monitor.

I had an image with jesus holding guns (attached) and myspace deleted it because so many people complained. Whatever happened to my rights to self expression? I know that's that what you meant by your reply, but guns don't kill people.

My monitor is a 24" widescreen, which shows the whole images. I guess I need to make it smaller.

Mine's a 17" laptop, which is a very wide aspect ratio monitor and I have it at the graphics adaptor's highest supported resolution. The visual problem with the site is in the vertical dimension, not the horizontal dimension - unless you designed the site to look differently than my browser (Firefox 2.0.0.3) is rendering it.

Can you take a screen shot for me? I intentionally made it 500 wide because I like the thin style, though 17" is pretty small.

I could care less what myspace does, it is their servers. It's that enough people complained. Though with 38K myspace friends, I shouldn't under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

What is the purpose of your web site? Reason I'm asking is it isn't exactly clear to me upon arrival.

100% nothing. I had it as a personal site of mine a long time ago, but just had it as a splash page for years until now when I though I could put up photos I take. You also have to understand that I don't have a portfolio so I can't put up any content. Let's just say that for the next few months, that problem will be addressed.

Ok, that should help the vertically challenged. Let me know if the whole image appears when it first loads.

On a 17" w/ 1280x1024 it shows everything to the grey line below the myspace link.

with 1024x768 it drops off a bit below the knuckles.

I guess it's going to suck for those with small screens -lol. Thanks for letting me know though. I have a 17" laptop too I use on the road. I checked the site and all looks good.

Which is the primary reason I didn't post those images here.. that shoot was done a day or so after the Virginia events.
