FAQs
(Frequently Asked Questions)

Who did the photography? All of the photographs are originals. The vast majority were taken by me and my wife. The rest were taken by family, friends, and kind passers-by.

What kind of camera do you use? Photos prior to July 2004 were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel G 35mm using 200 speed film. Most photos after July 2004 were taken with a compact Nikon Coolpix 3200 digital camera, though a few have been taken with my father-in-law's Canon Digital Rebel.

Can I use your photographs? Please feel free to use any images or graphics for your own PERSONAL, non-profit use. For any commercial use, mass use (ex. a booklet or a website) or other use, please contact me.

When will you add new Parks? As soon as we visit them! There are nearly 60 National Parks, and my personal goal is to visit every one (at least the ones I can drive to) before I die. We plan National Park trips as often as we can, but it will still take several years to build pages for many of the Parks.

How was this site created? This site was created using Microsoft Front Page 98 and a little hand-HTML tweaking to get the pages just right. The photos were scanned using an HP Scanjet 5470C, photos were edited in Micrografx Picture Publisher 8 and the graphics were created using a combination of Microsoft Paint (the one that comes with your computer) and Micrografx Picture Publisher 8.

Is it tough to make a website? No, not really. It just takes a lot of time to build a good one. If you have something you want to share with others, you should try it! There are plenty of free hosting services out there like http://tripod.com . Before starting, consider what you want to convey and develop a good structure of pages to make it easy for people to navigate. Once you're building it, take your time to make sure every link works like it's supposed to--nothing is more frustrating to a visitor than a bunch of links that don't work.
